Seriously? 360 outsold PS3 by nearly 20 million in North America, and it even managed to surpass the Wii. Only reason it "lost" overall was because it was non-existent in one of the three major markets for consoles (Japan). PS2 was $299 at launch and the most expensive of the generation along with the original Xbox... GC was more powerful and just $199 a year later. PS1 was also $299 at launch compared to $199 for the more powerful N64. And storage limitations didn't stop companies like Capcom from porting dual-CD games like RE2 onto the N64 in its entirety, cutscenes and all, and with BETTER visuals on top of that. The point being that the most powerful console of any previous generation was never #1 in sales, regardless of price. |
Very convenient that you discard the generation that completily torpedos your whole argument. The PS3 was more exspensive THE ENTIRE GENERATION and yet managed to outsell the 360 while launching a year later. It doesn't matter if the 360 lost "because" of their terrible push in Japan. I can use the same silly argument you did btw: "The only reason the the 360 did well at first was because the PS3 sold a lot worse in the US." In fact the PS3 won EVERY other market so my version makes more sense.
Saying the strongest console can't win is about as dumb as saying the cheapest console always wins.
