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.

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.

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.

I alway said Microsoft  made all the right moves that gen, while sony made all the wrong moves, and even with kinect giving 360 a huge boost in sales, the playsstation brand proved too strong to over come, and they still got out sold in the end.
