... just like the Christmasses before it.

We should not judge PSV after its first Christmas since Chirstmas is mainly geared toward Microsoft and Nintendo.


Xbox was only just outselling the PS3, and other then the 3ds, nintendo wasn't dominating


Lol

Why "lol"? name 1 other nintendo product that's dominating

Okay, we can play this game.  Name 1 Playstation product that is dominating!



Stop hating and start playing.

The only system that was dominating was 3DS, Xbox 360 was barely above PS3 , so it wasn't dominating really



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Though, you could say the PS3 dominated the 360...for the entire year.  It's going to end up ~1.2M-1.3M above the 360 this year.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

When combining sales of all systems by manufacturer, Nintendo is dominating:

Nintendo - 1.8 million
Sony - 950K
Microsoft - 800K

Let's say Nintendo is dominating. That would mean Microsoft are definitely not.

Yep, it would mean Sony and ms are in a virtual tie. With an old and dying console v the mighty PS3 and a brand new handheld.

alarming. 

It would be alarming if we didn't look at the bigger picture (the whole year). Wasn't 360 supposed to outsell PS3 every week from Halo 4 release?
Edit: I also wonder where he got the MS number from. It's only 750k (rounded).

No... It's still alarming.  It proves the Vita is done, it's bust, over, finished.  I was right all along.  


Alright man relax.  You haven't been right becasue they are still making Vitas at this moment.  The Vita has sold poorly and it looks like it'll stay that way for some time, but they have yet to get a big title that will sell the Vita.  I'm not saying it'll succeed or fail, I'm just saying their is no need in this type of comment.

MSFT did not dominate but for a 7 year old console it sold extremely well.  

PS3 has sold well too across the entire year and it is a 6 year old console.  Next year when it is 7 years old it'll sell less than this year.

Nintendo dominated with the 3DS and that is to be expected.

And seriously guys why do we look at numbers all the time thinking that is the most important thing?  Profits are the most important. So out of 360, PS3, Vita, Wii, WiiU, and 3DS who made the most money?

Grrrr that word again.

outsold does not = domination. 

Very true.  But, when you outsell your competition by over 1.2M for just one year, then yea, that's domination.

I think the term "domination" need a revisit in here. I haven't seen a single sliver of domination on the charts this year, the generation is effectively nearing an end.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

No. It's not.  Domination would be controlling the market a la PS2. Nothing has come within the vicinity of domination. PS3 sure hasn't dominated the 360 anywhere other than Japan. 

Given the PS3 entry price is still more expensive than the 360's (hell, it went up to $70 more with the release of the Slim) and last year the gap was only ~300K in favor of the PS3, it dominated the 360 WW this year.  Granted, I'm only using the term for this year, not as an overall observation.  On the region comment, I'd have to say PS3 is dominating the 360 in EU and not just Japan.  PS3 should have a 5.3M gap there by the end of the year.  Maybe 8M-10M when all is said and done.
