THE definition of “Winning” these days...

[DoesWhatNintenDont]

With the ever mounting complexities the console market has continued to evolve with, thanks in large part to the rapid development of technology and corporate giants making muscle multi-media machines out of their units, we are seeing an increasing amount of spin these days.

So in attempts to cut through all the rhetoric of fanboys and the companies themselves, I pose this question to our community:

How do you define “winning” in this day and age for the console wars?

Does having the most amount of units constitute winning? Or perhaps, for example, less units overall but more profits? Or both? Or even the highest percentage of overall market-share growth? Etc. Etc.

Please do try and keep your cognitive dissonance at the door before answering: I do have a feeling that when profiling answers for this question it will not be too hard to see how someone looks at the gaming market overall.

 

P.S. I’ll share my take on this after the thread starts to get going, as I don’t wish to influence the direction it heads initially.
