Well by your logic since MS chooses not to introduce a handheld its their own fault. And the PS2 is just as much of a different market from the PS3 as the Wii is from the DS so that argument is bunk. Why not just do a real company wide comparison?
Nov 25th '06 through March 8th '08
Console | Wii | PS3 | X360 | PSP | DS | XB | GC | GBA | PS2 |
Total | 22,390,706 | 10,483,915 | 11,896,277 | 15,804,020 | 39,575,831 | 40,533 | 493,413 | 4,289,957 | 14,207,029 |
Nintendo - 66,749,907 - WINNER!!!
Sony - 40,494,964
Microsoft - 11,936,810
OR ooh I know how about we do a comparison of just current generation consoles from Nov '05 to Dec '06
Console | Wii | PS3 | X360 |
Total | 2,959,649 | 1,232,643 | 7,959,844 |
Microsoft - 7,959,844 - ZOMG WINNER
Nintendo - 2,959,649
Sony - 1,232,643
@yoppaDo,
No he just wanted to point out a scenario to inflate the ego. Perhaps if this wasn't the 20th time we've had this discussion you might get a better responce but its gotten really old explaining this to people.
There is a saying in statistics that applies here:
"If you torture a data set long enough, it will confess to anything."
