No, it really isn't a marathon. There are many feedback loops in the videogame market that reinforce the leader over its competition. That would be why hardware vendors who aspire to take the lead try to launch their model of the generation before the market leader can release theirs and establish a stranglehold once again. It doesn't always work (Genesis, Xbox 360) but it always results in the keener getting a bigger slice of the pie than it otherwise would.

in others it's doing pretty well, I admit that. Can't contracidt that

In America is still too soon, this year PS3 releases will help. There are no PSP titles to compete with PS3 ones. But in the long run we'll see... since there are months the PSP wins and others when PS3 wins.

I don't get it...

Yes, people do jump ship, that's fine with me, Good luck with another console you like

but people who first jump ship, and feel the need to bash their old system??? What are you, Phil Harrison?

OK .. well I agree with your first post , but please , can we get over it allready ? Yes , Sony is not the dominater this gen . Its more than obvious now that it will come 2nd afther Nintendo . So it was discussed and argued in hundreds of threads ... can we let this die already ?

 Seven stages of grief:

 7.- Acceptance/hope.

Still, even with all the negativity in the world, all signs point to the PS3 managing not to finish 'in last place'.

Brand name is still a powerful asset.

Wii/DS are completely different. Each system is complementig the other, not competing with one another. They were designed that way so they could expand instead of shrink

As you see, there are different technologies between the two. But in the GB-GBA era, if you compare them to the NES, SNES, N64 and even GC. the only difference is th3 obvious one: the consoles are just more powerful (GBA can have 3D games).

But in the market, what's portable can kill what you can have at home if the value is "good enough for them" if it has similar experience than the home systems.

The DS is not holding the Wii since the experience is a lot different, you can't have the same gamplay on DS and Wi. Just the imput and number of screens are enough proof

Is 2nd place really losing it that badly? Plus we have no idea if the Wii will lose steam or not.

you said anything about jumping ship. First of all, i dont belong to Sony, I have nothing tied to sony except owning their consoles. I was not bashing the PS3, But writing about how its creaters gave it no chance to win from the start. They blew it, and i dont stick to companies. I'm play what i like and so far Sony has what i like to play, that's is all.

"All things considered, I'm pretty sure it's already a done deal, given the fact that we hear very credible rumors about it once a week or so."

If one more person posts something about MGS4 appearing on the 360...
