Welp, When Sony wins, they really win!


Well technically they won last gen aswell. But that was a tight one!

Essentially sony have never lost in regards to home consoles and the only reason they came close was because of their incompetence with the PS3's development.

How can you say the sony won last gen? Give credit where credit is due. Nintendo were the winers of the 7th gen. The got to 100M before anyone else and with a gap of over ~20M from their nearest competitor.  Sony eventually clawed their way back to second place but at the end of the day, Sony were the biggest losers of the 7th gen.

Well yes, Wii won last Gen in the Global, but not by over 20M, by 17.5M and the Gap si getting smaller week after week. 360 won in NA, and PS3 almost caught Wii in Europe. True, Wii won, but not a 'full victory' considering PS3 is crushing it since a long time in the weekly Global selling numbers.

Last gen officialy ended when this gen started in full. It doesn't matter if the PS3 has onger legs, its close or whatever. A win is a win. Kinda like how in baseball a pitcher is awarded a win after the first 5 innings even if his team goes on to lose the game by the 9th inning.

17.5M, 20M... lets give credit where credit is due. Nintendo came from a 22M selling console to not only dethrone the PS brand but win that generation by over 10M. No buts here, lets not downplay it. Mind you, this is the same way I wouldn't want the fact theat the PS4 is dominating everyting to be downplayed either.
