Personally, I would argue that you were way (WAY) too young to critically evaluate the SNES and Genesis being that you would have been too young to comprehend most of the games when they were released.

Beyond that, Sega made many awful mistakes which were far worse than anything Nintendo ever did which is why they left the console market. The Sega CD was an unnecessary add-on which was poorly supported, which saw its life ended by the release of the 32x which was an unnecessary add-on that was poorly supported, and that was followed by the Sega Saturn which was expensive, poorly supported and died early from lack of support. By the time the Dreamcast was released no one would touch another Sega product.

@ justben, Ill take that bet too, the ps3 totals will not beat 360s, at best sony can come close, id say 3 weeks they may win

my avatar? for the wager

edit *wow* 360 outselling the ps3 in japan? the world has gone mad ...mad i say.... well if  MS takes eruopa then sony has not a chance to out sell the 360 this xmas, i now say ps3 will take one week with luck  

I'd be up for that bet as well.

The 360 will continue to outperform the PS3 in the US - sales in Europe are effectively deadlocked - and the 360 has picked up unexpected ground in Japan.

The final nail(s) in the coffin with be continued strong sales of Guitar Hero, the launch of Assassins Creed (360 doing a lot better) - and then to top things off - Mass Effect.

The PS3 will pull back some ground in the US in the coming weeks - but it won't be sustained, and the 360 will continue to outperform.

...

Sony's best chance for a surprise, is for PS3 sales to jump to 80k-100k this coming week in Japan - and stay high throughout the holidays.

When did the 40 gig release in America?

So you started playing video games at around 1993 I am guessing, at the very earliest. The Super Nintendo was just at its infancy along with the Genesis. So you are one of those rare people that went retro and played old games. Not the same man. Growing up with games is very different from going back and playing old games.

Nintendo should have died? Kinda hard when you're making money. I didn't want either of them to die. Sega was awesome.

Seriously, if Nintendo died, all we'd be playing are crappy FPS or FPS derivatives.

"Sony is also under the mistaken impression that including the ability to play DVD movies is a huge selling point. But true technophiles and hardcore gamers probably already have DVD drives. I'm a good case in point. I already own a Sony DVD player, so I could not care less if the $299 PS2 can play movies. I'd rather pay less and get a machine that just plays games instead."

I want to say i find this quote ironic but there has to be a better word for to describe this anyone?

Wait, people are actually playing games on the PS3?? 

I thought PS3 owners just sat around waiting for games to finally come out.

He didn't say playing games, he just said playing.

Why not? They usually head to head. I say that will be a close call in the end:

Ok, a lot of people wanna bet here, so I'll make it that way.

Conditions:

In the time frame from week ending 10th November to week ending 5th January the PS3 units sold>360 units sold world wide combined. A lot of people want to bet here, so I'll say we make it a one week of forum Signature use (common sense, nothing offensive). If I'll loose, every taker can choose it, beginning with the first taker. (So I could end up with some weeks Signature of others).

Every one want to take that bet, write me a PM, I will do it on my forum Signature the second the first taker arrives.

Who won will be determined on Feb. 11. That will be enough time to see all may comming corrections for the database. So knowbody can cry afterwards if the winner changes.
