Nonsense.

The point was that Playstation home console has lost HUGE market share this generation, thats all. Why is that even debatable?

Japan after 3 years PS2 3:1 PS3

Your right, however....

In your post, it was worded as to make out that there was a 37:1 difference between the PS2 and the PS3 and how they were and are doing in Japan. I know it didn't literally mean that, but that's how it came across....at least to me.

Now you factually say that there is 3:1 difference, and that's vastly different from 37:1 lol.

Wow 360 numbers are amazing compared to the PS3. Looks like Sony's last strong hold is not so strong any more.

I'm confused. Are there only 2 console makers out there? Japan hasn't been Sony's stronghold since like...2005 or so.

I am talking about HD consoles and the battle for second place. SONY vs MS. In the beginning with the PS2. SONY had dominance in every region. Then when the PS3 released they lost NA. Now they are losing Europe, lost Others and not even dominating Japan

Yeah, it's not dominating at all, it only has more than 3 times the install base

Japan...

PS2 40:1 XBOX

PS3 3:1 360

yeah PS3 has really picked up that baton and run with it......

So, wait. Because Sony is dominating Microsoft in Japan less than last generation, that means they're not dominating them still?

You guys are in a losing argument.

Yes not dominating as much. Do you understand these ratios????

Let me help you understand.
GM used to dominate Car marketshare in the US. Now its still first but not like before. Understand?? Other competitors have caught up due to GM's ignorance.

THis is the same in consoles. MS is catching up in Japan due to SONYs ignorance and poor management with the PS3

Yes, but that has alot more to do with the 360 outperforming the Xbox rather than the PS3 doing poorly.

Well it seems many posters in this thread still think SONY is still dominating MS like they used too in Japan.

No-one has argued that in this thread! People have just stated the FACT that Sony is still dominating MS in Japan...that's all.

Look at this link:

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=PS2&reg3=Japan&weeks=156

It shows at this point in time PS2 had more than 10Million in sales. This ratio is not only due to the 360 doing much better but the PS3 doing much worse. The PS3 is absolutely horrible compared to the PS2 and there no way to spin this
