No counter to what? Yikes, you're still stuck on worst region. I understand that if you look at it in a:

Japan: 2nd place
EU: 2nd place
US: 3rd place

manner, it is PS3's "worst region". But you're comparing pure sales numbers between it and the 3DS. So the reality is:

Japan: 9+ million
EU: 29+ million
US: 26+ million

So even if, by marketshare, the US is PS3's "worst region", getting outsold by it here is not some huge deal  because it sells very well here. Again, you're just using a marketshare spin because it's the absolute only way you can try to put some negativity on the numbers. It's sad and hilarious to see both at the same time. Toodles.

The SNES was never awful, but it was behind. It was behind in total sales, in market share, and most importantly, was behind in current weekly sales as well.  Upon its release it was selling at a slower rate than Genesis in the US, Europe and globaly in total.  It wasn't just a head start for Genesis, Sega was doing better head-to-head.  The launch of Street Fighter 2 and other major third party content changed perception, and as Genesis died DKC was released and SNES lived on long after.  The situation is very much like PS3 vs Wii.  SNES remains the one console that used processing power as a significant edge to winning a generation, though you could argue that games like DKC were more about programing tricks than the power of SNES.

Very interesting and not at all how I remember it.

Did you read my reply ? Do you have a source that SNES was losing ?

You do realize that losing means that the SNES marketshare shrank at one point.

Genesis came 2 years earlier and build a significant lead before SNES was on the market which is why SEGA sold better. 

This is just natural if you play catch up. SNES got more and more marketshare and PS3 even lost Marketshare to 360/Wii at some point, this never happened to the SNES afair. It was behind  like PS4/720 are behind to the Wii U now. But if they steadily gain new marketshare once they are released and catch the Wii U years later, would that mean they lost to Wii U at first,  and when they catched it down the line they made a comeback ? 

We certainly have two different ways to define losing. 

But maybe I just remember it wrong, maybe Sega infact let SNES first build up marketshare which they then lost and later regained.

I feel like I am misunderstanding your posts thats why I want to see the numbers, I looked but I couldn't find a source.

Right now it  almosts seems to me that by your definition the PS2 was losing to the Dreamcast and had a comeback when  

it caught up to its sales.

But if you are right I really wonder how the SNES managed to win that thing by such a big margin in the last years of the Gen. When did the catch up start ? In order to make a comeback you have to lose something first. But SNES never lost anything it had nothing in the first place . It was Nintendos decision that SNES was released 2 years after the competition  the System itself never failed  it did well from the start and was neither unhealthy (no losses) nor was it ever losing marketshare it once had .  I fail to see how the SNES made the greatest comeback if it was objectively in a better position than PS3 was.  

actually SNES did lose market share.  It sold less than NES and SEGA sold significantly more Genesis systems than it did Master systems (the one competing with NES).

I am talking about the same generation not total marketshare over two generations  . PS3 lost marketshare in the same gen it was 2008 I think and SNES never did that.

The guy I was quoting says the SNES comeback was more impressive. I say neither PS3 nor SNES made a comeback but for different reasons.

PS3 hasn't come back yet.

SNES was never in a situation to come back from, it gained steadily marketshare as far as I remember.

If there is a comeback candidate its PS3. Biggest drop of from predecessor marketshare. Highest losses over several years. Loss of already gained marketshare. 

SNES is by no metric in the running for biggest comeback even if PS3 falls short. Unless I see the numbers in what way SNES made a comeback  that eclipses what PS3 seems to do. I can't believe what he is saying .

The console system wars has been very exciting this generation. PS3 over taking the XBox 360 will confirm the PS3 is a more popular system and a better system than the XBox 360. Your console system outselling another console system gives you bragging rights to claim my console system is better than your console system.
