The porn things was just an example of what people can and do use the console for. Playstation is also the most popular platform for streaming Nexflix and people credit PS3 for the success of Bluray movies. Like I said before, Playstation and Xbox became media boxes because that's what the market wants.

PS1 was successful is because Sony did a great job getting developers to put games on their machine. They would also money hat titles on occasion. Sega and Nintendo on the otherhand had a tendency to push developers away with their tech and policies. I think Sony shook up an industry that was arguably being held down Sega and Nintendo. I feel MS did the same when Sony became too relaxed with and released PS3, that machine was a mess.

Hype sold the Wii and notable exclusives helped. Wii U failed in spite of strong exclusives.

So, you want me to stop talking about my own country, the only place that i live and can see with my Own eyes what is going own ?, so i need to Speak About Argentina, Germany, or maybe India ?, something more Random like Netherlands ?.

Playstation 3, even without having Piracy, agais the Xbox 360, that had piracy, Still out-sold Xbox 360, on Brazil, the majority import retailer sold more playstation 3, and Brazil's Amazon (the store not the florest), had more Deals made with Playstation 3, than Xbox 360, and is the Main store for Brazil.

a Country that never paid for Original games before, begun to pay because of Playstation 2's sucess, they were with Sony's Brand, because the Exclusives were more worth for the Brazilian's taste, this shows that a Console, sell mainly for games, and despite of Multimidia, Little price variations, the Exclusives is what sell consoles, because of that Consoles still sell well after much time released on Brazil, of course is cheaper build a PC, but you would not have the Exclusives.

And you  are Wrong that a game like Call of Duty, would move more Sales than any Exclusive, acording to VG Chartz, The Last of Us, Sold Nearly more than Call of Duty Black Ops 3, if was a Launch tittle for Playstation 4, would have sold the same.

People purchase console for Exclusives,  they know that they will get the Multiplataform tittles, what make them purchase the Console is Exclusives.

And the reason because Consoles also sell more Multiplataform, is that The person already spend the money on the Console, and if the person will receive Multiplataform, and Exclusives, on the same machine, they would just save money for Games.

But if the  person can get PC's exclusives, plus the Exclusives of the console that the person wants, so there is no reason for purchasing a Console, in 1-2 Years, there would be even less reasons.

I Don't think so, the Hype, did not sold the Wii, was the Motion Control exclusive, that was a New tech on the era, and the Wii sports knew how to make good use of the Wii Mote, people that actually don't had taste for gaming, and also people that already were gamers, purchased the Wii.

Also, i don't think that Microsoft, did anything near Sony, did with Playstation 1, they only released a Cheaper console, with 70% Failure rate, and had a Bost in sales because of Kinect, that they  like Sony, tried to take from the Wii's Sucess.

Xbox 360, sold more than Half, just on USA, not even a single Playstation console, sold nearly half the Total only on USA, while on Microsoft's side, all their consoles sold more than Half just on USA, Sony, and Nintendo (Nintendo, when is Using, only sell well on USA, and Japan), have more Worldwide appeal,

but Sony, have much more appeal than Both, on Pal Regions, and on those regions is that the most Growth margin is, Sony, also sell much well on Europe, and Japan.

2019 or 2020 hopefully.

I'm comfortable saying much of Wii's success was hype. Which is why its sales plummeted and its successor failed so badly. If you disagree, that's okay.

I didn't claim MS was at par as PS1. But I certainly feel MS gave Sony a nice kick in the ass and for the better. Sony had to get better because Xbox is the first real competitor they had that appealed to the core market.

I'm not disagreeing Sony has more appeal around the world. That doesn't change the fact Sony is losing a lot console and software sales too Xbox.

No, not even a Single time a Xbox, was Sony's only competitor, only for the Ports of games, and Multiplataform.

Sega Saturn + 64, had 50 Millions of Units agaist Playstation, still had competition, Playstation 2, had 60 Millions of Competition, the Wii, sold more than 100 Millions, Playstation, aways had Competition, Microsoft, is not the "First Competition for Sony".

and Microsoft, is only a competitor on USA, on other countries it did not did nothing.

Is hard to believe that the Wii, sold because of their Exclusives ?, and the Sucessor, did not sold, because the Motion thing, did not had a long life, those kind of games were replaced for games like Call of Duty, League of Legends, in other words, Massive Multiplayer Competitive games.

Xbox One, is selling much worse on Europe, on Japan, Worldwide, and is selling more only on USA, and now with those games releasing on PC, the console will begin to sell less even on the USA.

Microsoft, lost Worldwide market, because of anti-costumer policy, and they are selling on USA, because was where they had the most number of consoles sold, and now is nearly the only place that they sell something.

Nintendo, lost Worldwide market, because the Wii U, was a more expensive, the Wii U, lost Third Party support, and had bad policy about Gaming, like the games being locked on the Console, and not on the Account, Region Lock, and other things.

Xbox is Sony's only real competitor in the hardcore game console market. Nintendo hasn't had a significant core audience since the N64 in my opinion. Again, disagree if you want.

Saturn and N64 sales combined is more like 43 million, not 50. OG Xbox and Gamecube combined was more like 46 million, not 60. Wii had a huge audience but the audience there didn't buy the same software as 360 and PS3 users, which is why core support on Wii died quickly. The Xbox has an audience very similar to Playstation, more than Nintendo and Sega.

Xbox has had success outside of the US. 360 sold 35 million units outside of the US. X1 should surpass 10 million units outside of the US this year. Do a little research buddy.

Again, much of Wii's success came from its gimmick. That's my stance, you don't have to agree.

Yeah, X1 is selling less then its predecessor. But it still has a large and growing audience. Its still a relevant platform. I'm not denying MS made mistakes but they have improved whether you want to admit it or not.

Wii U failed for numerous reasons, we can agree on that.

So the Dream Cast, was not a 6 gen Console ?, Dream Cast, even after stop production, still had games being produced for the console.

And do you really think that Selling 10 Millions out-side USA, is something ?, we don't even know if they will sell this much Out-side the USA, Microsoft, don't release sales numbers, the only Out-side USA, sales that we have, is UK, Japan, and more recently, France, and Germany, that did not is 4 Millions of Xbox One, the only places that Xbox One, is selling is Uk, and USA, the others the console is a Big Flop.

Sega Master System Sold more than 10 Millions of units out-side USA (with total sales of 14-15 Millions units worldwide), and Sega's Genesis, also sold more than 16 Millions of units out-side USA,  More than 3 Millions on Brazil alone, but sold multiple times less than Playstation 1, and Playstation 2, on Total Sales numbers, showing that Sega, had a Stronger Worldwide market, than the USA.

Xbox One, will sell multiple times less than Xbox 360, on the Worldwide market, already is not selling ou Europe, that acording to VGchart, Xbox 360, sold 25 Millions units, and now Xbox One, only sold 5 Millions of units, i don't think that it will get any close to Xbox 360's sales on Europe, Xbox One, is selling much less than Xbox 360 on japan, Dozens of times less, and is selling less than Xbox 360, on Pal Regions, a lot of times less.

They are killing their own console sending Exclusives away, they will not have Kinect Boost on Sales, because they are not investing on Playstation VR, that is something that would push sales like Kinect.

I Still think that someone that sell over 60% of their product in just 1 Country (that now those rates are even higher) is not a Worldwide competitor, just a Local competitor for Playstation, a Xbox console, never out-sold a Playstation console, on Europe, on Japan, or on Pal Regions, and did not  even was close to out-sell, they just out-sold on USA, so is not a Worldwide Brand, like Sega's consoles, or Sony's Playstation, the Xbox, is just a American Brand, that seems to please the American people, and just it, seems that they don't have focus on other markets.

Xbox One, need to sell more 5-6 Millions Out-side USA, only this year to sell more than 10 Millions Worldwide, do you really think that Xbox One, can sell this much without USA ?, Do you really think that a Console that was 9-10 Millions units sold on January of this year, and that only sell on the Holidays, sold 10-11 Millions on 12 Months worldwide ?, VGChartz is Overtracking Xbox One, i don't think that is 20 Millions units sold for January,  and i think that is 18-19 Millions Shipped, 16-17 Millions Sold, Microsoft, don't give numbers, if they were at 20 Millions, they would release numbers, and would not release their Exclusives on PC.

OG Xbox was a much more relevant console than Dreamcast. Xbox sold signifcantly more units, it had better 3rd party support, and it had a longer life. I was a big Dreamcast fan and I still have a few sitting in my closet, but the facts are the facts.

I'm getting really bored. You just keep saying how much better Playstation is doing. I get it and that doesn't change the fact Xbox One still has a large presence. Albeit significantly smaller than PS4. Xbox One is still a sucess even with PS4 selling significantly more units. You just can't seem to get your head around that.

Most of X1's sales outside the US is not in the UK. You boast about Sega's sales outside the US but neglect the fact none of their machines is overall as successful as X1. You're spinning numbers to make an argument, its dumb.

As long as Playstation doesn't get the X1's exclusives, they will be fine. You can stop losing sleep over X1 exclusives, all will be fine. Even Playstation shares exlcusives with PC.

VR isn't a proven success yet. Especially not at the price its going to launch at.

Selling tons of units in one country is better than selling a small number around the world. Did you consider that? If Sega was selling as many units as Xbox they would have continued making hardware. Xbox One will sell more units than Master System, Genesis, and Saturn combined.

It doesn't matter where Xbox sells the most units. What is important is they sells a lot of units and lots of software. Maybe releasing games on PC helps generate revenue outside the US.

2019.

But I think that they will problably launch the XB2 some months before Sony and the PS5.
