The PS3? I'm not sure we're reading the same number. Ironic considering the Wii, unless you just forgot about it?

Don't make me bring out Stephen Hawkins to school you again. XD

@Aeolus. Sony is a strong brand. It proved itself a market leader with the PS1 and PS2. However, the PS2 sold a lot in its infancy much due to its DVD capability, not its games. There was nothing really to play on the PS2 at launch unless you enjoyed Fantavision and The Bouncer.

The list of PS4 games posted proves my point, there is nothing considerable Sony is doing games-wise to have won this kind of favor. Without an added benefit of something like DVD-replayability in the PS2 days, this victory we see here may possibly be short-lived because imho it rests on nothing more than brand confidence. The biggest thing going for the PS4 right now is that it has better hardware and a reasonable price-value ratio. However over the span of the generation I'm not sure this will go so far. Microsoft is capable of giving Sony a difficult fight as was seen last gen, so again I don't know if this current wave of sales is fully deserved and more importantly fully sustainable.

It is also important to note that your argument falls short with the Vita. The Vita is a Sony console, under the Playstation brand. It did not win by default and it did not win without the games, mind you it was expected to come out on top given the PSP's decent performance. After all, this was only Sony's 2nd handheld.

Obvious sarcasm, should be obvious. I wouldn't have thrown in the blantanty false PS3 elsewise.

I just love this "Deserve it" bullshit, some people are spouting. In November and December, they where cheering that MS worked so hard and they Deserve their sales, but nobody ever said Sony desevered fixing there mistakes and tying 2nd Globally with PS4, or doing everything right with PS4 launch to reap the benefits. The ridiculousness of saying a company deserve's sales is downright insane levels of indoctrination, 

 

For me, it is all about consistency,  but these guys are spinning like plane turbines.

too much hate for sony is coming in this thread.
