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.

Xbox is Sony's only real competitor in the hardcore game console market. Nintendo hasn't had a significant core audience since the N64 in my opinion. Again, disagree if you want.

Saturn and N64 sales combined is more like 43 million, not 50. OG Xbox and Gamecube combined was more like 46 million, not 60. Wii had a huge audience but the audience there didn't buy the same software as 360 and PS3 users, which is why core support on Wii died quickly. The Xbox has an audience very similar to Playstation, more than Nintendo and Sega.

Xbox has had success outside of the US. 360 sold 35 million units outside of the US. X1 should surpass 10 million units outside of the US this year. Do a little research buddy.

Again, much of Wii's success came from its gimmick. That's my stance, you don't have to agree.

Yeah, X1 is selling less then its predecessor. But it still has a large and growing audience. Its still a relevant platform. I'm not denying MS made mistakes but they have improved whether you want to admit it or not.

Wii U failed for numerous reasons, we can agree on that.
