Damn straight. No wonder Playstation has won 3/4 gens. |
3/4 console gens, but 3/6 gens if we count PSP and PS Vita.

pokoko said: That Playstation usually has access to a few games which recieve the most GOTY votes isn't the most important takeaway. That Playstation usually has access to a lot of different games which a lot of different people think of as their own personal GOTY is much more meaningful. It's not the quantity of the whole or just the quality of a few, it's the quantity of quality that brings in repeat buyers. |
This.
A hundred times this.
The list in the OP does not jibe with my recollection of the generally accepted game of the year for at least a few of those years.

They had to save blu ray or else the venture would've been a failure. Yes, I'll agree they came off like a bunch off snobs.later on I read up on it and understood their position because Sony has a track record of influencing playback formats formats inside and outside the gaming industry. I went on the 360 and was apart of he Wii60 group. Remember that? (Lol)once uncharted 2 came out I jumped on the PS3 and fell in love with Sony all over again. This one their first party got stronger. the Wii didn't scoop up the ps2 casual base though (or well even a substantial amount). That was a new market of casuals who don't traditionally game on consoles. If you look at the PS3 and 360s lifetime sales Microsoft capitalized on sonys mistakes by shaving off half of their previous market share. They both had over 160+ million consoles between them which was what the ps2 sold. The reason people noticed nintnendos market wasn't traditional was because hardcore third party games found it hard to make major profit off of a 100 million selling platform and Nintendos first party was selling brilliantly. I was happy for them. |
I don't buy for a second that the 70 million PS2 buyers who never got a PS3 all went to Microsoft. Wii and PS2 were both the go-to mainstream of their generation, naturally there would be overlap.

Actually that would fit quite well. PS2+XB combined sold about 180 million units. PS3+360 combined will likely end at about the same.

That's assuming though that neither 360 nor PS3 won over any new gamers nor absorbed any of Gamecube's base.

Yup, if we look at best reviewed games of each year, list is quite different, than we have currently 4 Nintendo games in last 12 years.

Sony succeeds because their approach to gaming always worked the second they landed in the industry. There was no successful multimedia focused console on sonys level before their entrance. They expanded the market to tech enthusiasts and exposed console gaming to PC where with sega and Nintendo most people in the 90s didn't even consider consoles an option. |
When I think of PC gaming in the 90s I think of FPS games foremost. And when I think of FPS games on consoles I think of GoldenEye 007 on the N64 which sold 8 Million copies.
