Nope, a sales war is decided by who sells the most units.

yeah i believe the ps3 will surpass both 360 and wii in the future to bad i or someone else didnt foresee this earlier in the gen when it mattered oh wait. . . http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=102249

sony doesnt drop support for its past gen consoles like the others, this has been shown for the last to gens

next gen will have a slower start compared to last gens, as shown by the wii u already and b/c of the big technical jump of the HW

23-28M isnt to much of a gap to overcome in the next 4-5 yrs especially since PS is a stronger brand on a WW level compared to Ms and nintendo

It's unfortunate for you that MS fans are the only ones who believe this.  How many gamers make constant threads about how much Nintendo made in the early days?  Or how much money Sony made during the PS1 and PS2 years?  Or how much money MS lost during the Xbox years?  None.  The only topics that really remain relevant are the games for those systems and who sold the most consoles.  You can try to explain it to other gamers, especially younger ones, why MS really won, but do you think they will listen?

Nintento won when it's said that over half of their consoles were impulsee buys are just sitting grabbing dust instead of selling games?   The Nintendo sales figures are a joke because there is so little profit involved in a console by itself.  

The only number that means anything is making money.  Period.  Who sells the games and who makes the money.

Has anyone actually been in the gaming section of a big box store lately? There are four consoles and two handhelds right now and it is packed. There is not going to be space for six consoles, two handhelds, plus games for each. All last gen consoles are not going to be stocked after about one year of the PS4 and Xbox3 coming to market.

I give you props for making that thread back in 2010.  I hope it turns out better than this prediction. 

great point.

i quess thats what happens when i try to switch sides

MS still loose with 360.

FY2005: ~0.4m loss
FY2006: ~1.3m loss
FY2007: ~2.0m loss
FY2008: ~0.4m profit
FY2009: ~0.4m profit
FY2010: ~0.6m profit
FY2011: ~1.3m profit
FY2012: ~0.3m profit

You can remove the FY2005... so FY2006-FY2012 MS had a ~0.3m LOSS... now if you added the XBOX loss then you have over $5 billion LOSS.

Seriously guy, you said NO important features were removed.  Yes they were.  If you want to run 4 controllers on the PS4, only 2 USB ports is an issue here, with recharging and so on.  And for some backwards compatibility IS an issue.  It was removed.  Stop saying that they aren't, when the are for some.

The fact you mention the XBox 360 in response to what I wrote, means you have console partisan mindness in mind, and took what I said and turned in into a fanboy war.  You had to bring in the XBox 360 and its "incomplete features" to make the removal of features on the PS3 look important.  You did this, not I.  You see this as a PS3 vs 360 issue, when it isn't.  It is two sore points about it.  Actually, for me, I did go out and buy a 60 GB backwards compatible PS3 when it was at $500, because backwards compatibility mattered to me, and allowed me to get rid of my PS2.  it was important.  Just like now, the PS4 not being able to play PS3 games native has me thinking of not getting a PS3 again.  I got rid of the PS3 because I needed money and went and got a PS2.

 My last line, by the way, was in general about this thread, and rather than stick it in another post, I posted it here.
