I guess the PS3 is dominating now but really at this point the real question is what happens next round. The console winner next generation will probably take >60% of the market so I would expect to see a lot of drama about it.


Wow you expect the console winner next gen to take 60% of the market? Can you explain why? That seems like quite an extreme position. The winner this gen is at 40% and that is slowly dropping.

I think PS4/720 will share 75-80% of the market in some fashion with a near equal split. 

It is because you can't play with your friends online if they have an Xbox 360 and you have a PS3 and vice versa. The biggest exclusive the consoles have is their online networks. It is unreasonable for people to have two consoles which play 90% the same games and sometimes multiple copies of the same titles in order to not miss out on playing with their friends.



Tease.

Okay, but why do you think so many will go one way versus the other versus a relatively equal split like with PS360?

Because one of them will win simply by being in the lead. Everyone is connected in some way to everyone else (6 degrees of separation) once one of the two networks has a lead it will become overwhelming simply because it will cause other people to join that same network. The advantage in Sony dominated regions is going towards Sony simply because they are the best console to buy if you want to play with your friends and the same applies to the U.S. even though the consoles are relatively well matched and on the surface the PS3 provides better value.



Tease.

You amaze me...

I know what someone who does what you say in bold is called, do you?

I do not know. But PS2 fans were #1 and their beliefs and values showed me what winners had the power to say.

Which would mean you aren't allowed to replicate them

360 is beating PS3. All I need to know.

Factually wrong actually. Present tense

Lifetime sales. Soooo no.

My logic is actually using PS3 fan logic, who say exactly what you are jokingly referring to. Thing is thats a reality that PS3 fans only count the recent years of PS3 selling to prove a point. I then reuse that same logic for my sig.

Huh, this is your own logic. Or would you say nothing you say uses your own logic?

Right above your comment is someone (Wander) who is using the current year stats to claim a present victory.

Doesn't change the fact that you think in the exact same way. Don't blame this on PS fans.

By taking cues from them I (in theory) can't be rebuffed since its their own idea. Many of my beliefs stem from PS2 fans beliefs at the time.

But VGChartz wasn't even active during the pS2's generation. So why do you constantly retaliate on this forum when this forum never had Sony fans as "bullies"?

Gamespot forums. They were moderated in a simialr way. So its essentially the same demographic. And besides, when the tables are turned how could we not take advantage of the rules imposed upon us (and Nintendo fans) last gen? It would be a crime not to.

- Believe in the immutable power of lifetime sales. You can't lose an argument if your console has more lifetime sales

- Hardware specs, online, graphics and reliability mean next to nothing if you have the games.

- Head starts are totally fine and legit.

Core points I learned from your ancestors.

Edit: NM, dont want to name names. But theres def PS bullies here.
