Xbox as a brand WW is stuck in 3rd place 3 gens in a row, that freaking sucks. Fact remains that no Xbox console have ever outperformed a Nintendo or Sony consol WW by the time the consoles are taken off the market. Can't see this gen being any differnt.

Everything is possible to happen i remember people saying the stronger console will never end first because all previous gen the weaker consoles sold the best

That wasn't true last gen now was it? Sure Wii was the weakest and sold the best but then ps3 was considerably stronger than 360 and outsold it by 2mil+ when the gen ended.

But it didn't come first so that statement is still true...

No it's not becuase that statement is plural meaning the two weakest consoles sold the best. Which isn't true. It wasn't true with Ps2 either. The Ps2 was stronger than the Xbox and outsold the xbox. Ps1 was the strongest console of it's time and again sold the most. So not true.

Exactly. Power alone means nothing.  Wii sold a lot in the first 3 years because of the motion controller and its peculiarity; its success had nothing to do with hardware performance and polygons per second.  PSX was simply the best console offering the most variety in the game experience, and it won. Same for PS2.

360 is an incredible console, close to beat PS3, again, because it is a great console and PS3 was so expensive at the beginning, also hard and complex to develop for, and released 1 full year after 360 in NA/Jap, and 16 months after in Europe.  It looks like Sony learnt a lesson with PS3 vs 360, and got stronger, while MS tried something that didn't work, and they got weaker as a consequence.

Playstation is overall the most popular console on the Planet, and with this PS4, mostly considering its competitors, no way one of them will be able to come back in the Global, no chance on earth.
