I love how obsessed sony fans are with "WINNING!!!" everything. It's like their games just aren't that fun so they must find another way to enjoy their Sony fandom.. By constantly gloating about how much "THEY WIN!" even though Sony's success has absolutely nothing to do with them personally (and even when they sell the most they usually lose millions in the process). So.. yea.. GO SONY!

I love how you say that in a thread made by a MS fan

You should also see how smug he was back when Wii and DS were dominating, like, I dont think he ever left that fact out in majority of his post. Now he' alll ''lawlz sales no longer matter on this sales tracking web site'' !!

If we are talking about profits then isn't MS the winner this Gen? Aren't they the ONLY company currently making a profit at the end of every year? Or am I mistaken? Not sure that's why i am asking.


You are mistaken. Nintendo made more profit than Sony and Microsoft


You are right I am looking at the now and confsuing it with the past. Wii did make the most profit EASY!

If we're talking about profits then I think Nintendo pretty handily won every generation. 


No way....NO WAY the N64 made more money than the PS1 and there is NO way AT ALL the Gamecube came even CLOSE to the PS2 so it is impossible for them to have won every generation.

You are way more certain than you should be:

Of course that's the gaming divisions as a whole and I can't separate out the profits from handheld sales.  Still, if we're talking about profits, Nintendo wins pretty handily.

I know this chart all to well that's why I said there was no way that the N64 made more money than the PS1 and that there was no way the Gamecube made more money than the PS2. I mean this chart doesn't change that fact to be honest. It is a known fact that the handheld market makes Nin loads of money! So now the question needs to be asked...when we say who won a generation or we talking about overall profits based on every system that was out during that time? And seeing as the title of the thread s in about Home COnsoles then yeah it would still stand that Sony won during both the PS1 and PS2 eras and they are on track to with this era/generation. But only time will tell what will happen.

The PS3 can't outsell the Wii at this point, with in a year or two, it'll be over taken by 8th gen consoles. Also the PS4 hasn't won yet. The Xbox one isn't that far behind, and Wii U is still in the lead. It's too early to call a winner.

We can, since Sony wasn't around back then to beat Nintendo. 

Hah! Oh, Pezus. Your sarcasm kills me.

OT: I still disagree with the people calling out these far-off predictions. Many things can happen in 5+ years.

When the Wii was outselling the PS3, the argument was ALWAYS that the PS3 had superior technology and that the PS3 would have longer legs because of that. People denied that at the time.

This prediction is coming true, so will continue in the market because there are still people who want it.


That doesn't matter Wii production has stopped, 7th gen is over they can keep selling the PS3 for the next 20 years and the Wii still won the 7th gen!



If it is undisputable why is it disputed so much.

PS3 outselling 360 is a perfect example 



Wrong,

1. Nintendo DS
2. Nintendo Wii
3. PS3
4. Xbox 360
5. PSP



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Nintendo won 3 times
Sony won twice
MS didn't win yet (it's a shame really, 360 had some potential)


First party is definitely a major reason why Microsoft didn't hold onto the lead over Sony. That and the Kinect fanfare wore off after two years.
