For those debating who won last gen, just my 2cents.

If I go to london and walk along the 100m sprint line, does that mean I get husain bolts medal?

Or if a go to a marathon that just passed and walk along the track and it takes me a whole day to pas by 1km what the athletes did in like 2hrs, did I ran better than them and deserve the price?

Even at 100m the ps2 still dominated the gen and the wii also dominated the gen even in the US cuz the wii was long finished by the time the 360 caught up in the US.


Those are races. This isnt a race. These people are just talking about what sells more. A better analogy would be one group of girl scouts went out and in 2 days sold 40 boxes of cookies. Another group went out those same 2 days and sold 25. But they went out the next weekend and sold 18 more. 

Now, if youre just playing list warz, do you care that the second group took longer? No. All you care about is group two sold 43 and group one sold 40.

Now, does Nintendo and MicroSony play list warz? No. They care about revenue and profits. In this scenario group one might have spent less money on gas selling the cookies. Or maybe they sold 40 boxes of a more profitable type. So even though they sold less, they made more money.

So if the PS360 were to ever pass the Wii, it matters to those who can gloat on the Internet. It doesnt matter to Nintendo, Sony, or MS since in the end, Nintendo made more money than anyone else last gen. AFAIK anyway.

Lastly, it probably wont even happen anyway.

Thats for people who say this is a race or the ones that say its a marthon, even a marthon has a limit of time to be a valid competition.

But your example is also good. But you also need to add is how much time do the girls have to sell through all thouse cookies. If the contest was over the first weekend then it dosent matter how manny the other group sold the next weekend, even if it was tripple.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
