3 years in and its already over? Does that mean that Sony can claim victory in Japan?

 

Yes it does.

PS3 has won in Japan and 360 has won in the US... it has been obvious for a while now I would have thought.

 

 Not quite obvious enough, because they needed an official statement to clarify it.  But as far as I'm concerned its far from over in any region

This reminds me of The Empire = Microsoft, Sony = The Rebellion.
The Empire may have won now but the rebellion will make a return! :P

 

Um, shouldn't it be the other way around.

Well, PS2 was the empire last generation, and now the 360 is emerging.

The PS3 looks like darth vader (big and covered in armour with a glossy black finish). It also fits in with the story of Anakin, he wore white robes when he was on the "light side" (PS1) and then as he became more evil he wore darker clothes (Black, but not glossy, Black, PS2) and finally came to the glossy black armour (PS3).

The 360 looks like Yoda (Smaller and covered in white, Yoda is green and the 360 on light is green and they both die.)

I think Soul Calibur IV backs up my argument here.

 

And finally, when the PS3 price cut occurs, the "empire" will strike back.

 

On topic: Though I don't think MS should say it out loud (I mean, Nintendo is a game company afterall) but they have bet Sony in the USA (I don't see the lead getting caught upto, or at least if it does, it won't matter anymore).

 dont forget that the 360 won the biggest market and japan market is nothing compared to US



A little bit premature of a statement imo.
It aint over till the fat lady sings.



 

 

 

 

Reminds me of a certain president standing on an aircraft carrier and declaring to the world that the war in Irak was over and that the US had won...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Wii won in Japan, wii won in the US, wii won in Europe, Wii won in others.

What have the other consoles won? The real battleground is in ur head so it seems.

If the 360 has "won" the US it's mostly in the bible belt and other Rural areas. In the big city it's split.

How can you possibly know that?

Looking at Third party support I would say the HD consoles have won :P

In all fairness you cannot compare the Wii here as it doesnt have the games PS360 has.

It caters to a different market imo.

 



 

 

 

 

Microsoft already won America last year when they reached 10M sold before the Wii and PS3.  How can they win twice?

“History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle."
