Truly, and point in case... what exactly did they win or were the spoils of war other than rampant epeen contests?

Sony came last. Lost market share and more importantly, buckets upon buckets of money.

MS and Nintendo made money from this gen and built their marketshares... It's first and foremost a business. Not charity.

The only way I can see someone even thinking they won, is if they enjoyed the games. If you have the opinion that they had the best games.... You could say they won there.

Surprisingly true.

Propaganda machine for the DPRK now apparently works for Sony...brilliant comedy material!


So what facts did they post that was wrong??? Oh right you just went into full defense mode.


Sounds like you're living up to your name. Don't try to think too hard, now...

Apparently now criticism = defense. 

Tell me, if I stated some acid hallucinations that you have were bullshit, would you say I'm in full defense mode of your supposed reality? Brilliant logic there, by the way...

sony had nowhere to go but down,ms/nin had nowhere to go but up since they did so incredibly bad from the prev gen... but it looks like whatever market share the 360/wii built up,is now gonna be gone in record time because of the ps4

...Wii?


Wii died a while back and isn't selling well anymore. It's clear to everybody that the PS3 will pass Wii's numbers.


I dont like to count my chickens before they hatch, but i wouldnt mind as i prefer PS3 to the other 2

Just because you sell the most doesn't mean they won. They went down from 150 to possibly 100 million. Nintendo went from 22 to 100. And 80 to 150. I can't see how Sony can be the winner of the gen. Although they are specificly talking about the PS3 here. Still, the PS3 let all their opponent's catch up, and we still do not know if it will be the best seller, for those that only looks at that, and not the whole picture.

It's not really fair to say "it went from 150 to 100" and look at that as a bad thing. The PS2 was a little over 100M when the PS3 came out....and then kept on selling. It was on the market for 13 years. To compare 13 years to 7 years and then say since the console that has been on sale for 6 years less time sold less units, it "went down" is ignorant. Check the numbers again in 2019/2020. That's like looking at the iPhon 5s and say "it has sold less than the iPhone 4s, so it's not as successful as its predecessor" while ignoring the fact the 5s hasn't been out anywhere near as long as the 4s

You didn't read everything I said. I'm not saying PS3 was a failure. But it sold less than PS2, quite a lot actually, AND it let the other console developers get up. PS2 strangeled Xbox and Nintendo, PS3 gave them oxygen. I doubt Sony think of the PS3 as a sucsess in the same way they look at PS2, and, once again, Nintendo were the cear winner of the gen. No matter sales of consoles or not, people considered them done, and they came back and reclaimed the throne, forcing Sony and Microsoft to start with motion controlls as well.

Nintendo won, but they pandered to a market that cannot be salvaged because they aren't truly interested in the product enough to reinvest. Nintendo would have to capture their attention all over again with a new gimmick or an upgrade to that gimmick.
