| Jega said: My thing is if the PS3 came from behind and caught up to Xbox 360, why can't the same happen the the Xbox One. No matter how many people want the Xbox One to die off and go away it simply won't happen. I will have fun this generation watching Microsoft take marketshare just like last generation. |
No one is saying it can't but when we look back at how/why it did there are no correlations. The PS4 came back because of EU and Japan globaly, two things that not only does MSFT not have the capability of doing but the PS4 is already outpacing the ratios of last gen in these areas, and likely will in Japan when the Xbox One is released.
Your entire premise (or lack of premise) is built on comparing US sales (sometimes gloabally in the US) where the PS3 never caught nor sniffed the 360. So you cant point to the worldwide marketshare of the PS3 catching the 360 and extrapolate it to the US marketshare.
Did you forget what you were even arguing here?
3 things lead the 360 to US domination (compared tot he PS3) last gen:
1. Full year headstart
2. Incredible price difference in additionto having a one year start of always being cheaper
3. Online infrastructure/community/friends of friends feeling compelled to play the same system coupled with point 1
Literally NONE of these variables exist this gen. There is no headstart, the prices are now equal and the PS4 is taking point 3 which will only compound MSFT's problem more long term.
You have absolutely nothing in the form of a legitmate, logical argument to make.
