No problem man, but that is still this gen.
And certainly since 2013 there have been plenty threads discussing sales and who would win or was winning (several people claiming Sony would go out of business, X1 over 150M because they have infinite money to undercut Sony and put more exclusives plus Kinect being the future and WiiU would do other 100M because of Wii - then sure they rewrote the history to say kinect is the reason X1 done bad and WiiU name is the reason for 85% drop in sales).
Then before 2013 when talking about the chances of PS3 passing X360 or Wii people said PS3 was dead around 2008 and that they didn't had a strong name, they won on PS1 because of CD and Nintendo sticking to cartridge made several 3rd parties jump ship (that certainly doesn't explain why other CD before PS1 didn't made a dent or Saturn not making big waves being Sega a strong gaming company at the time) and they lucked out on PS2 with everyone buying it because they could play DVD and pay almost the same as a regular DVD machine.

Hilarious how there were a bunch of users just 1 year ago that said it wouldn't pass the Wii, let alone make it to 100M. You may not believe but there were one crazy guy around August or so still claiming PS4 won't pass Wii.
He missed one some were using for a year or so on here when talking about the PS4: "It's only selling on hype." Sony must be the luckiest company for all their console to have made more success than it's direct competitor. |
