I really hope you aren't touting the one year lead (meaning no competition from the other console which targets a similar userbase) which is slowly but surely disappearing as your definition of "crushing". Sure the PS2 had almost 75% last gen, but if current trends continue, M$ will be in last place. Now how does that equate to M$ crushing Sony? Sony crushed everyone last gen, Nintendo is doing it now. |
Although I wouldn't (personally) say that the XBox 360 is crushing the PS3, I think it is too early to declare that the XBox 360 will be in last place (in particular in last place by a wide margin). At the current rate the PS3 will pass the XBox 360 in 12 to 24 months. Now, if Microsoft can boost their average sales by a small ammount (10,000 units per week) and the PS3 sees a small reduction in average sales (10,000 units per week) it is likely that the PS3 wouldn't pass the XBox 360 until late 2010 or early 2011.
