PS4 became a marginal success in the end but Sony loss a huge chuck of its market share. The real problem with Sony is the lack of 3rd party sales compared to the XBox 360 and XBL takes in more revenue than PSN. Sony biggest reward with the PS3 has been Blu Ray, which kicks ass at the end of the day.
To be fair, PSN is free compared to XBL's $60/yr fee. I don't understand why people flock to XBL when there is a free alternative. This is primarily why I prefer PS3 over 360.
The Wii has been the biggest seller, the others are starting to catch up but I think the major problem was their arrogance. They released a console that was expensive in boom time, when people felt like they had plenty of money and it was still too expensive for most then recession came and they boasted about being recession proof and didn't lower the price much if at all.
Not in the UK it's not, the article says it looks likely that in the UK the 360 will bow out as the best selling console out of the 360, Wii and PS4. http://www.techradar.com/news/gamin...surpass-nintendo-wiis-uk-sales-record-1131356 Microsoft's weakest market is Japan, where Sony hold a strong lead.
The Wii is still selling, both the xbox and PS3 are still selling that's without the inevitable price drops.
Well that's true, but I know people with multiple xboxes, One in the living room, ones for the kids, one in the bedroom/games room, etc. I'm sure there are people out there doing the same with PS3s.
Hm, people replacing their XBox360 because of the dreaded RROD might inflate the numbers a little bit...
There are 2 Xboxes, 2 PS3s and 2 Vitas in my home. Big family. My kids tend to fight over the PS3 more.
