From 1991 to 1997, however, it had the Game Gear competing against it. In the peak years, the combined hardware and software share between the two hovered somewhere around 75% Game Boy/25% Game Gear, the closest any handheld ever came to overthrowing the Game Boy. Similarly, the PSP is currently hovering around 25% hardware/software-combined market share to the DS's 75%.
| so you are comparing the Game Gear to the PSP? lol | He is stating factual comparisons between the two. If all you have to say is "lol", then I'd think that either you agree that the facts are correct and find it funny, or you are very threatened by the comparison but cannot find any point of fact to disagree with. I know which one I'd bet on. |
Making up facts doesn't make them true.
He says 60 million for GB when GG died. Ok. 6 to 1. It's currently a litle more than 2 to 1. Yes, that's only hardware. You can't sell software without hardware. Find me software numbers that back up these ridiculous claims that GG sold so much software.
Also, he claims "everything is selling better now" to account for the PSP outseling N64 now and outsellling GG 3 to 1 and still going strong, outselling EVERY system in Japan recently. Well, the DS is selling faster than any system ever, but it's not sellling 3 times as fast.
The PSP is far and away more successful than the Game Gear. To say otherwise is just lying.
