The first part of your post highlights exactly what I'm talking about in your replies in that you come up with things that aren't even said in this this case when you are told more products doesn't automatically mean more consumers your response is arguing against everyone having the same tase when that was never said, it also highlights how you again have no response to the Gen 2 example. Xbox was at 20m 3 years into its life when MS annouced they were dropping it sales dropped after that as MS cut all support for it, its performance was very similar to what X1 does tbh it just couldn't match the PS2. The rest of your sentence again makes no sense I think its time you sit down and reread things properly as you're starting to come up with random comments now. No mate you brought in consoles vs portables when I highlighted that before Gen 7 they were on even footing at which you tried claiming consoles were always ahead then I showed you the performance of them which started your goal post moving shenanigans and yes they were on even footing because the one platform you're comparing selling 118m means it outsold all other platforms like it or not these are cold hard numbers you can't deny in any shape or form I'll keep telling you that until you swallow it. No I compared GB to SNES and MD not the GBA, this is again another example of you failing to remember the points you're arguing against I'm starting to think you're well out of your league here at this point. GBC was another model for the GB a platform already out and it took 9 years for them to finally have a portable with color when that tech was around and viable for years prior why? Because the was no strong competition to force the issue you claiming its progression is like saying New 3DS is significant progression because it has a better processor, this circumstance flat out shoots down your whole narrative here, Sony shook the industry and Nintendo with their anouncement that they're entering the portable market with the PSP to the point Nintendo had to drop GBA to bring forward the DS to not risk another PS1 style takeover. The fight Sony and the PSP put up influenced their R&D which is what competition does. No changing points here you just seem to be struggling and tripping over your own arguments. |
I'm going to give this one last try.
Everyone having the same taste was never said. That's correct.
Problem is, that's exactly what you implied when you assumed that if there wasn't a Vita, those 16m sales would have been passed to 3DS.
Actually, XBox sales were at 24m (shipment numbers) by the end of 2005 (4 years on the market, not 3).
End sales, as provided by vgchartz are 24,65m.
Yes, Xbox had a ton of life in...
I gave you the amount of handhelds and home consoles sold between 1983 and 2001. I even gave you the totals just for the time where HH and HC were on the market at the same time.
In no way, were they on par... in no way.
Can you say that X HH outsold Y HC? Yes. Other than that, there's nothing else you can say. And that's ignoring how long that HH was on the market vs the time Y gen of HC was on the market.

"I highlighted that in its gen GBA outperformed both SNES and MD to the point that both platforms were even outsold by it combined" - written by Wyrdness.

Quote 1 - “Actually, after the SP, we were working on the newest model in this range. The code name for this new Game Boy was IRIS, like the flower"
Quote 2 - “President Iwata then came to see me. He was obviously bothered and he said: ‘l talked to Yamauchi-san over the phone and he thinks your console should have two screens… A bit like the multi-screen Game & Watch, you see?’ Everybody is aware of this, but what people do not know is that at the time, everybody hated this idea, even Iwata himself. We thought it did not make any sense.”
