It's impossible to keep everyone happy. Even when things are going pretty good. Maybe it's because I'm a huge Age of Empires fanboy, but I feel now is not the time to complain
Surely you mean 4 incredible gens. PS1 generation was probably stronger than the PS3 gen by a lot of metrics. |
Tbf to Era, it's usually the same few doom-posters, Lol.
Yeah, I'll be honest, forgot how well PS1 sold but now that I see, have to include that too. Even at their worst, it comes nowhere near the damage that Xbox One caused. It has just been strong gen after strong gen, very few slipups, none which hugely affect a consumer base. Aside from RROD, Xbox had a ton going for it in the 360 gen and still lost in the end and that was with the Kinect fad giving them a boost, Lol.
It will be a huge uphill battle for Xbox to get close to PS again, even with tons of great exclusives (forgot to mention them releasing their 1st party day one to PC as well). Sony is ahead, Sony is the market leader, PS5 is on lock for 100m+ already while Xbox is harder to predict.
Though again, I don't think it really matters as long as the business is healthy and growing, I think Microsoft have given up on getting close to Sony's marketshare and are going for an entirely different business route (consoles still important but not the only measure of success).
