But, at any rate, sales aren't about arbitrary bragging rights, but about getting machines into people's hands, creating a market, and generating money so that companies can survive. So, regardless of the PS4's availability, the 3DS is building its install base more at the moment which is really what matters. |
Comparing selectively is completely different to comparing relatively. I agree that if you compared the 360 with the PS3 and only compared the UK and America, it would be wrong, but that's because those consoles HAVE launched in all territories. When it comes to consoles that haven't launched in certain regions you can only compare the regions it's released in, so including a region that one console has released in but the other has not, skews the result unfairly. Once the PS4 releases in Japan, THEN we can compare the WWS. Perhaps the 3DS will still outsell the PS4 in WWS but as of right now, the PS4 is beating the 3DS in the regions it has launched in.
I agree with your last comment though. The only real concern a gamer should have is that the install base becomes big enough to create a bigger market and encourage more support from devs going forward.
The PS5 Exists.
