Yeah, in fact, sony is not leading in most industries now...

TV: Samsung

Digital Camera / DSLR: Canon

Console: Nintendo

Computer: HP

Cell Phone: Apple (smart phone), Nokia (cheap non smart phone)

Camcorder: Sony (too bad, dslr is eatingits high endmarket while dc and cell phone are taking over low end market)

Apple is not leading in smartphones.

Blackberry is - not relevant

it's nokia..it doesnt require to sign up contract...so RIM and Apple's smartphone actualyl generate more $ to tele companies, so i dont count it.

and RIM is for business users, and i dont count b2b, since their companies pay their phone bill.

Whats better, selling 2000 products in one day, or selling 20000 in 10 years?

The answer is 2000 in one day, but on SW 20000 in 10 years is considerd better.

well thats what MS was aiming for, the 360 is much better in the short run while if you buy a PS3 you will know its gona last a long time

I think you misunderstood my post. The 360 has sold more then the ps3, but the ps3 has'nt been out for as long. In the same time frame the PS3 has sold more then the 360.

Microsoft has repeatedly said that the Xbox 360 will last one day longer than the PS3. So I don't think they are worried.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="seabiscuit8686"] The "time machine" "throw PS3 out window" comments are people who cannot fathom the fact that Sony is a company that has lost vs. microsoft this generation. Instead of taking time to think about it...they write comments like thisNyxathid_Horror

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... They realized there is still like 5 years left in this generation.

For the PS3 that is, and it's more like 5-10; 360 has 2-4 (if even).

Even if the PS3 lasts 10 years to the XBOX 360s 4 years.....the POINT IS - Sony lost market share and profit (even after 10 years) while MS gained market share and profit. I can't believe this is so difficult to grasp. No company would look at Sony and say "I will model myself after this company and their PS3" because it was a failure

[QUOTE="seabiscuit8686"] It has nothing to do with the enjoyment of the PS3...it is just stating that people who are basically saying "PS3 is catching up" are just ignorant people forgetting to look at the bigger picture of the failure this generation has been for sony. To the poster above...trolling how? By stating an opinion backed by facts?seabiscuit8686

I assume you mean catching up to the PS2 which System Wars doesn't care about. What System Wars cares about is PS3 catching up to the 360, or are you just looking for an excuse to feel better about yourself that you made a difference on the internet? Sleep easy while I enjoy all my systems.

System Wars - Microsoft Xbox 360 gains market share and increases profitability. Sony PS3 loses massive market share and profitability. Microsoft wins war based on REAL life where profits and market share are what matter But yeah - I just saved the internet....

Rationality isn't wanted here in system wars. But seriously what you said was true. People here only see a small image. They gotta take a look at the whole view. MS is doing better than Sony because they are making profit overall and Sony is still losing money. That's the truth. Not a biased opinion.

The PS3 would have to sell 169 million units in that year to match the market share of the PS2.....

I think most companies when they were on top like sony can become content and loose that grasp on reality of what consumers want or stop driving forward, in sony's case they even seemed to believe decided what consumers want.

I think even cow's have come to the realization that the ps3 isnt going to be winning this generation. They are more focused on quality games and PsMove then how much the ps3 sells and loses in market share.

Exactly - all the threads on system wars are if the PS3 or 360 is more powerful or leading in sales. I am just giving a new thread that explains how these companies view the system wars. No matter if the PS3 has the graphics king (which it does between the 360 and PS3) or if 360 has better online....the companies don't care. They know MS won this generation.

Agreed. Sony has repeated more it will stick with the 10 years plan, since they are turning profit now and the dev. are more familiar with the machine now, i see it likely to happen, may be the x360 can be around for 10 years but it will be like the PS2, present but not present.

Obviously this is system wars and everyone cares about sales and graphics....but I've noted one big thing everyone forgets - Sony is a business and the PS3 has been a horrible failure for them as a company.

Why?

Look at the fact that last generation they sold around (greater than) 140 million units (PS2) vs. a mere 25 million Xbox originals. If you look at the percentage (between only these companies), that is 560% more than the Xbox.

So even if the PS3 eventually outsells the Xbox 360 by 10 million or 20 million, what an embarrassment. They are still hemorrhaging money and will NEVER have the same results as the previous generation.

For a company, the ONLY thing that matters is money. The difference between last gen and this gen is horrifying if you are Sony. The bickering on here is laughable because it is clear...SONY HAS LOST

Not the "console wars" but the utter domination they had, and the utter cash cow they had.

Strangly, sony isn't doing all that bad, they are right behind microsoft, and the ps3 secured the HD format for now, I don't think sony waas planning on getting paid in the short term but gaining a base for the future. M$ on the other hand did everything almost perfectly apart from RROD. Though i don't think that was avoidable givent the time frame and the materials for GPU development being standard.

Look at the E3 of the PS3 announcement - it was obvious Sony was confident the PS3 would sell extremely well. They were expecting not only a large percentage of the market share, but also profitability. They have achieved neither. This, in business, is called failure. It's bizarre how people don't realize this

I have seen this one:

PS3 users buy PS3 for blu ray ;)

The PS3's attachment rate has over taken the 360's

No it hasn't, but it did sell more software.

the problem with ps3 is that ps3 gamers do not buy games . the ps3 game sales are horrible. The game sales is where sony really makes a profit.

Its not 2006 anymore.

It makes no difference if sony is slightly ahead of MS or MS ahead of Sony. They are no where near the numbers of the PS2 rate vs. Xbox. Another point showing Sony's failure

[QUOTE="seabiscuit8686"]

Obviously this is system wars and everyone cares about sales and graphics....but I've noted one big thing everyone forgets - Sony is a business and the PS3 has been a horrible failure for them as a company.

Why?

Look at the fact that last generation they sold around (greater than) 140 million units (PS2) vs. a mere 25 million Xbox originals. If you look at the percentage (between only these companies), that is 560% more than the Xbox.

So even if the PS3 eventually outsells the Xbox 360 by 10 million or 20 million, what an embarrassment. They are still hemorrhaging money and will NEVER have the same results as the previous generation.

For a company, the ONLY thing that matters is money. The difference between last gen and this gen is horrifying if you are Sony. The bickering on here is laughable because it is clear...SONY HAS LOST

Not the "console wars" but the utter domination they had, and the utter cash cow they had.

seabiscuit8686

TC whenever a console launches in a new generation it doesnt start its userbase from the point of the last console -

Every console gen is a new start, a new round its really bizzare how many poeple ignore this

Look at the E3 of the PS3 announcement - it was obvious Sony was confident the PS3 would sell extremely well. They were expecting not only a large percentage of the market share, but also profitability. They have achieved neither. This, in business, is called failure. It's bizarre how people don't realize this

I hope youre enjoying the ps4 and 720 oh wait....this gen is faaaar from over, think before type, let the game end before declaring premature defeat,

It was obvious they expecect it to sell well, I'm sorry CEO I forgot you were in that board meeting, And thanks for the obvious "I didnt know that when companies made a product they want it to sell"

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"][QUOTE="Modern_Unit"] I don't. My 2nd PS3 just broke last month.donalbane
Same :( I don't want to pay to fix it so im going to wait a while until i fix it

After 2 60gb units died on me, I just got a Slim, but I'm really pissed. That makes $1000 total I've spent. Reliable hardware, my ass. ALL CONSOLES BREAK. Even the Wii.

yeah I never wrote that so hmmm

The 360 was out for 4 years and the PS2 has been out for 10 years and still going. Of course the difference between them will be huge.

I was wrong. but they are all most tied and the 360 is slowing down while the ps3 is increasing

The PS2 is still in the lead +1 more win for Sony :P

It took all those exclusives plus multiplats to sell better than the 360 and the gap isn't much while the 360 survived mostly on multiplats that the ps3 also has so it's obvious the 360 sells more.
