Beyond that the second half of the year will usually allow for some shiting in market share. My point was the assumption that "Sony owns Japan" is insane considering that Nintendo controls over 66% of the hardware market, software sales on Nintendo systems account for more than 60% of the market, and Nintendo software alone counts for roughly 40% of the market; in Contrast Sony platforms account for (approximately) 25% of the market in terms of hardware, roughly 35% in terms of software sold on platforms, and Sony publishes less than 5% of all software. At this point in time Nintendo is beyond dominant in Japan |
Ahh see, that is were people like me differ from people like you. We don't hide behind statements like "At this point in time ...." where we have wiggle room to dodge and come up with "what? I never said PS3 wouldn't win all I said was at that point in time the wii was dominant that's all" win the future. We understand that this battle is a long one and the victor will be fully known by the end of the gen's cycle and are not afraid to state with conviction that the PS3 will be the dominant console again when it's all said and done. I have no fear in saying it and anyone can use my statements against me has the years go by but there are things I believe and I state them with no hestitation.
You may twist info any which way you please but I can state clearly that come 2012, the PlayStation3 will be the dominant home console in Japan and world wide. Can you make your statements clear as that too?
