blykmik said: I was curious about something... so I just did some quick looking courtesy of vgchartz' Chartz-Hardware Tables... Here's a look at some numbers of how the big three console makers have compared to eachother starting since the Wii and the PS3 entered the market. (Consoles only here... hand-helds not included). Take a look at this, and tell me what you think: Worldwide Sales Since Wii/PS3 Launches (data from week ending 11/26/05 through 3/8/08) PS3 / PS2 - 38,251,602 Wii / Gamecube - 24,750,455 Xbox 360 / Xbox - 19,101,320
This is just data... numbers. Is this not a fair way to look at gaming console sales? |
To be fair the Gamecube has been discontinued so it's basically the Wii going up against both the PS2 and PS3 in your first set of numbers and almost outselling both of them combined even though the Wii has been experiencing shortages since it was launched.
If you think Sony is still dominant I guess from a certain point of view it is (not including handhelds) but wouldn't it make sense to include PSP and DS sales as well since you're already looking at more than one system from each manufacturer?
