umm...hate to break this to you, old guy, but the SNES did not dominate like the PS1 and PS2 did. Like I said, no hardware has dominated like Sony's 2 consoles in back to back generations. 5 to 3 is not near 3 to 1.

I never said that having success for 2 generations proves anything. I was showing that no generation is the same and things happen all the time that haven't before.

Case in point: no third-place console has ever had the third party support that the PS3 currently has.

Dude what are you smoking, give me some of it. The SNES sold 49 million units and the Genesis sold 13 million. Doing the math the SNES held 80% marketshare, better than EITHER the PSone of the PS2. Where is all this 3rd party support on the PS3? Flip through their anounced game libraries and there are more Wii games than PS3 games. Go to an EBgames and look at the Wii wall and the PS3 wall. It doesn't take a genius to count more on the Wii one. The PS3 isn't a bad game system, but people are going to need to accept it's success will be limited to around that of the Gamecube and N64 (except that the Gamecube and N64 were both profitable and the PS3 will be a big dip in the red).
