| PortisheadBiscuit said: PS1 still wins the gen but not by as huge a margin. Sony as a parent company already had the global market penetration to take Playstation to levels Nintendo wouldn't have been able to at the time. Playstation also treated 3rd party developers much better than Nintendo and would've probably still secured a majority of 3rd party games. The only exception being Square. |
Yeah, Sony had the market penetration equal market penetration Nintendo having now. PS1 and N64 fight neck to neck in USA, for some time. Sony launches the first videogame worldwide: the PSone, because the global market penetration PSone has high sales. In the 7th generation, with some degree of the global market, no big mistakes, Nintendo become the behemoth selling 255 million units( the record console sales). The people forget, yes the Nintendo sells less stationary consoles, but in the same time-space, Gameboy sells gangbusters.
Nintendo aways reign the portable scene. In sales analysis, is very important to consider this.
