This. Unusually high launch price (and very high PS2 satisfaction) was the only thing that kept the PS3 from dominating. PS victory is the standard, Sony has to actively screw it up in order to not win. |
It used to be the standard because of a reason: PSX - CD, PS2 - DVD, PS3 - BR. PS4 brought nothing new to the game.
Worldwide presence: X360 was totally irrelevant in Japan and behind in Europe, still it managed to hold on to its (one year) worldwide lead until the last year before the shift in generations.
The X360 sold 19 million more than PS3 in North America (48 vs 29). PS3 sold 8 million more than X360 in Europe (33 vs 25). The ratio for X360, Wii and PS3 in North America is 39% - 37% - 24%
Now Japan is irrelevant to all except Wii U (25%). PS4 sells on par wiith XB0 in North America (7 vs 6) and more than double in Europe (7 vs 3). http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/
