Let me phrase this a different way then. The average console should have 33.3% market share. So, you can say that both the PS3 and 360 are doing poorly, the PS3 a little more so.

 

Except that it doesn't make really sense, if you really stop to think about it.

Why should we split a theoretical "market" between Wii, 360 and PS3? It's not like they are catering to the same set of people. There are customers of 360 and PS3 who would never buy a Wii, and customers of a Wii who would never buy a console without a wiimote or a balance board.

As such that "market" you are considering shares of, doesn't really exist. And trying to put those three consoles together just because we can and to get three percentage numbers out of them is just bad statistics.

 

This,360 appeals mainly to shooters (I know there are other great  games on the 360 but shooters sell well),PS3 is for every type of gamer and Wii is family fun.

And when i was talking about profits,i mean they could keep the price of the PS3 at 399$ and make a profit in the near future.
