No. Xbox hasnt had the most sales in a generation however there 360 was more successful than the PS3. It gave Xbox a third of the gaming revenue, it was selling at its best prices, it was cheaper to make, and it was a developers dream *cough Cell*

To say the PS3 was more successful on its last couple of years is sad. MS stopped focusing on there 360 for there XB1 and saving there games for there next launch eg Forza 5. Its like if Xbox decided to keep the OG xbox on the market for 20 years and it outsold the PS2 its not what i consider being more successful. 

So for Sony making better games and systems? Very debatable. Both Sony and Nintendo cant compete with Xboxs strenght. There online network, there controllers, Xbox has the better FPS franchise etc. Sure Sony and Nintendo have there strenghts too. 

As for hardware? Well the OG Xbox and 360 says otherwise.

Xbox 360 sold well in th US but was still consistently outsold worldwide by the PS3 since the day it launched, hence why at the end of the generation it had not only cought up but overtaken, sure microsoft had made more revenue that generation, but the only reason it gained the traction it did was down to it launching a year earlier, had they launched side by side it would have been behind almost the entire time, and you are kidding yourself if you think otherwise

both sony and nintendo cant compete with xboxs strength? haha right were done here

Mate you know the 360 made more money for MS than the PS3 made for Sony right? You think otherwise is being blind.

I gave you examples and you ran haha. My Job is done here.

(Hell, name a single Microsoft console that didn't end a generation with the lowest worldwide sales).

...

but did it an xbox console ever finish a generation anything but last place in sales, which is exactly what i said?

Yes. The original Xbox sold better than the GameCube and the DreamCast. In hardware, in software, in tie ratio and in number of games.

So even in 6th gen they weren't last place.

In 7th gen it is almost a tie between Xbox 360 and PS3 in hardware and software.

In 8th gen the last place for Xbox One isn't even possible anymore with the discontinued Wii U.

In the other 5 console gens Microsoft wasn't last place either. ;)

No. no it did not. and two times out of three it lost by a hefty margin.

as for that biggest library of all home consoles claim, perhaps try using a more reliable list.

Xbox 360:

There are currently 1,205 games on this list


Exclusive = 107
Console exclusive = 80
Multiplatform = 990
Xbox One compatible = 129

 

 

PS3:

There are currently 1433 games on this list. Below is an exclusivity breakdown as of August 2016:

 

Exclusive = 317
Console exclusive = 124
Multiplatform = 989

 

So yeah.. you'll excuse me if im unimpressed :)

These wiki lists aren't more reliable, they just show other data.

Complete game libraries vs. retail releases.

It's just cherry-picking to ignore any game that wasn't released on a disc.

But if it helps you sleep at night: the PS3 had more retail games than the 360.

sure beats counting every single region release of the same game as a unique release, and those lists arent retail only.

get a clue



Did you know that the processor used in the original Sony PlayStation successfuly guided a space probe the size of a grand piano towards Pluto in 2015, and is still boldly going beyond? New Horizons space probe.  MIPS R3000 CPU

 

Sony: For the gamers / For Science

PC: Power

MS: Combo Breaker

Nintendo: On the go / Suicidal risk taker

I chuckled a bit at this.

Must be because they started out as a playing cards company, and that their name roughly means "Leave luck to heaven."
