I Don't think so, the Hype, did not sold the Wii, was the Motion Control exclusive, that was a New tech on the era, and the Wii sports knew how to make good use of the Wii Mote, people that actually don't had taste for gaming, and also people that already were gamers, purchased the Wii.

Also, i don't think that Microsoft, did anything near Sony, did with Playstation 1, they only released a Cheaper console, with 70% Failure rate, and had a Bost in sales because of Kinect, that they  like Sony, tried to take from the Wii's Sucess.

Xbox 360, sold more than Half, just on USA, not even a single Playstation console, sold nearly half the Total only on USA, while on Microsoft's side, all their consoles sold more than Half just on USA, Sony, and Nintendo (Nintendo, when is Using, only sell well on USA, and Japan), have more Worldwide appeal,

but Sony, have much more appeal than Both, on Pal Regions, and on those regions is that the most Growth margin is, Sony, also sell much well on Europe, and Japan.

I'm comfortable saying much of Wii's success was hype. Which is why its sales plummeted and its successor failed so badly. If you disagree, that's okay.

I didn't claim MS was at par as PS1. But I certainly feel MS gave Sony a nice kick in the ass and for the better. Sony had to get better because Xbox is the first real competitor they had that appealed to the core market.

I'm not disagreeing Sony has more appeal around the world. That doesn't change the fact Sony is losing a lot console and software sales too Xbox.

No, not even a Single time a Xbox, was Sony's only competitor, only for the Ports of games, and Multiplataform.

 

Sega Saturn + 64, had 50 Millions of Units agaist Playstation, still had competition, Playstation 2, had 60 Millions of Competition, the Wii, sold more than 100 Millions, Playstation, aways had Competition, Microsoft, is not the "First Competition for Sony".

 

and Microsoft, is only a competitor on USA, on other countries it did not did nothing.

 

Is hard to believe that the Wii, sold because of their Exclusives ?, and the Sucessor, did not sold, because the Motion thing, did not had a long life, those kind of games were replaced for games like Call of Duty, League of Legends, in other words, Massive Multiplayer Competitive games.

 

Xbox One, is selling much worse on Europe, on Japan, Worldwide, and is selling more only on USA, and now with those games releasing on PC, the console will begin to sell less even on the USA.

Microsoft, lost Worldwide market, because of anti-costumer policy, and they are selling on USA, because was where they had the most number of consoles sold, and now is nearly the only place that they sell something.

 

Nintendo, lost Worldwide market, because the Wii U, was a more expensive, the Wii U, lost Third Party support, and had bad policy about Gaming, like the games being locked on the Console, and not on the Account, Region Lock, and other things.
