Sony isn't a monopoly. Sony doing better than their competition isn't necessarily a monopoly. There are still millions of XB1's and Wii U's out there. You could argue that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have an oligopoly, but that wouldn't stand up to scrutiny either, given PC and other pieces of hardware capable of playing games. A better definition of oligopoly would be the current broadband situation in the US. |
This, a million times. People fail to realize that Sony and the PlayStation, even though they are doing extremely well in the US, doesn't mean they have a monopoly in the market. By definition, the Xbox One and the Wii U shouldn't be in that market if Sony has a monopoly.
Anyways, they do deserve that "victory", even if it's still not over. They didn't make any mistakes this time, and they capitalized on the competition. That's about it.
