This. 

 

MS literally handed them the market on a silver platter and the PS4 isn't even that far ahead of the XBO.

sony gave them a market with ps3, and there mistakes took a long time to correct, unlike xbone, which fixed them right away.

That's ignoring the massive efforts MS made to increase the product appeal for the 360 by pioneering multiplayer gaming on consoles, building it's online ecosystem, pushing first party franchises that were surging in popularity in the NA market (FPS, TPS) and to top if off, the use of some excellent marketing. Sony certainly dropped the ball, but MS capitalized on the space, had some foresight and tapped in to what was trending on the market.

It has a 3m lead over it's main competitor which has had a myriad of problems since launch from marketing, to pricing and software.

I'd hardly consider it dominating consider all the cards landed in their favour. In fact it's a region Sony definitely need to push the system harder in and create more appeal for their product. Stronger competition from Xbox (and Nintendo) next time around will most likely see them losing their lead.

You guys seem upset.

Here, have a cookie.

Now now, hopefully I didn't bring up any undesirable emotions or feelings with my markedly unemotional response.

Not really. I realize Sony is easily dominating on a global scale. But the US is far from PlayStation land.

Thats the thing though, no none has said that its Playstation land. All thats been said is that it won this year.

As it ddi last year.

As it did the year before that one too.....

If its winning by only 3M, then thats just the kinda generation this is. Its still winning.

I was commenting on the use of the word dominating. Sure argue semantics, yes it's winning the point is that it's had an easy ride.

The PS4 might have gigantic appeal in EU and ROTW, but there's definitely plenty of work to do in NA. Try looking at the bigger picture rather than keeping score.
