As I already considered. But that doesn't take away that the 2 1/2-ish years before the PS4 Pro announcement saw the PS4 (the most powerful 'standard' console of the 8th gen before) mopping up the competition in regards to sales. I'm not suggesting power was the main key to said success, but it clearly shows that saying isn't bulletproof. |
PS winning a gen is the norm though which they've done twice before while having weaker hardware. And last gen saw the Wii lead which was the weakest. Implying (im not saying you are, but for someone who does) that a generation will be won or lost based on the power of a console is absurd when all historical data points to last gen being an anomaly, and this gen being "back to normal" with Sony on top. They've been #1 3 out of 4 times while not being the most powerful 2 out of 4 times. That PS4 is the most powerful this time around and still winning is a coincidence, I'd say the brand behind the product is a much bigger reason for their success.
