S.T.A.G.E. said:

Nintendo won last gen, but mostly because Microsoft stood in Sony's way. Sony has what Microsoft and Nintendo both lack which is why they will always perform well. Its why they appeal to a great audience at large. They increased the overall market the second they joined the gaming industry and continued to have it continue in its growth over the PS2 era.


Microsoft was part of the console market in the ps2 era and it's still didn't bother ps2 to become the best selling console ever.

Sony didn't win with the ps3 becuase they did a lot of mistakes - 

Very high price.

Backward competibilty for USA and Japan and not for Europe.

Many different verions of the cosnole - 40 g 60 g 80 g 20 g.

Not enough attractive games at the launch.

All these mistakes is what caused them not to be the winner.

With the ps4 they corrected many of these mistakes.

This is why they are winning this time at the console war.
