People do that all the time on EVERYTHING. "COD is shit. Earthbound is amazing!" And the sort. Sony didn't cheat their way into winning. MS and Nintendo screwed up. So they have vaild reason to win.

Your example is basically the exact opposite of equating sales with quality, but okay.

I didn't say Sony "cheated" their way into winning. Yes, they are winning because MS and Ninty screwed up. Do they "deserve" to win? Nah, there's no such thing as deserving to win in business. You do what you do, and you try your best to win.

 

I mean, Microsoft could've bought Activision and 2K and made CoD, GTA, Destiny, Bioshock, etc. all exclsuive to the XBO, and it would've destroyed the PS4 in no time. Would that mean they "deserved" to win? Again, no.

I could spin that and say. They were smart and beat MS and Nintendo to the punch. So they deserve to win. 'Cause MS and Nintendo failed to capitize on an opening. Which Sony did here, in your case. Sony, got all the 3rd parties away from Nintendo, ps1 years. XB1, Sony made the game lending ad, that made fun of MS' unexplained DRM. If Sony bought those companies, would that be a dick move? Fuck yeah. But that is a subjective emotional reason. VS them doing it. Getting around monopoly laws. And owning MS and Nintendo's ass.

I don't have to make any subjective emotional reasoning for any company winning, simply because I don't think any company "deserves" to win. In fact, no matter what a company did, I wouldn't say that they "deserved" to win.

Sales aren't objective. They are the combined result of how you influence people's bias Just because a lot of people pick the same thing doesn't make it objectively the best thing.
