Wait, so Sega will be the Xbox of the next generation and finally make a comeback?



Everything makes sense now!

Cannot really be compared, PS3 is very close sales wise to 1st and 2nd place. Gamecube was far behind PS2 and dreamcast killed sega.


Gamecube and Xbox basically split second place.


I thought the Xbox beat the Gamecube pretty soundly.


22 to 24 million, but most of the Xbox sales came at the very end of the two consoles life cycles (much liek if PS3 passes Xbox 360)

You can't forget the curse of the third console!!!

Durango is the PS3/64 sadly.


If the Wii U is the Dreamcast, the PS4 is the Gamecube, and the Durango is the PS3/N64, then who will be the generation leader? Sega? 


Nope. It's going to be the return of the arcades!

Google/Samsung/Apple need to buy Sega and then muscle thier way in for this analogy to work, I think.

EA.

But although this is a joke; a serious point should be made that discussing how a system will perform around 8 months before it launchs is madness.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think by now we are just throwing names out there.

Ah. I did not know that. The PS2 really creamed the competition--if you can even call them that.

"The PS3 is a system that woefully underperformed compared to its predecessors", but still sold as much as xbox360. FIXED
