but its on pace with the pS

you forgot sega on the bottom of handhelds. The game Gear sold like 10 million.

Hes comparing generations not years. Stop changing the facts. By your point the Wii is a loser which shows how crazy and irrelevant ur argument is

How about the 6-7million lead for the 360? How about all the Profit sony lost from the PS1,2 gens

BOOMSHOT!!

Lets forget that MS hasnt even made profit on gaming division yet.... and that 6.66 million console lead was due to releasing a year early.

By this reasoning, Sega WON the 16-bit generation.

Well they were out a year longer, and the generation isn't over.  Right now it's too close to say (it's practically a tie if you allign launches) and it could go either way.  Especially if Microsoft EOLs the 360 before Sony does the PS3...

those 6 million are irrelevant in my post ( because that is pure speculation ( if this/if that ) )

good luck though:)

You raise a valid point, but it is a shaky argument.

PS2 was the break out after PS1 established itself as a player in the VG market. OG xbox combined with 360 still doesn't even come close to selling as much as OG PS1.

Yes, 360 has grown from xbox1, but that isn't hard considering the OG box's 22ish mil LTD.

Yes PS3 is down (relative to its very successful former iterations), but I am not convinced that that result is solely because of MS growing their user base. It is more of Sony being the worst enemy of themselves and scaring off established user base.

Now that Sony has priced themselves back into the market, we are seeing sales trends that probably would have been observed earlier if PS3 was priced competitively from the start.

This is not to say that MS has not done a commendable job in the market. They have solidified themselves as a legitimate player in the console marketplace and have taken advantage of unfortunate Sony missteps. Especially going up against an established juggernaut, I would say that they have done better than good.

Of course neither company expected Wii to be the titan it is...

^^^HAHAHA

So ppl was right then this logic is full of crap cause by this logic it would mean that Wii is a loser because it didnt beat its last year sales which we all know isnt true.....Spin some more plz.
