That may be true but overall, the PS3 was the loser at the time and it took until basically the end of that console generation, consisting of many price cuts and years of developing a strong catalogue, for them to (narrowly) outsell the 360 worldwide.
Considering the absolute dominance of PSX and PS2, it was definitely not what they were hoping for. Not quite as dramatic as Nintendo with the market loss from SNES to the N64, but I’m sure Sony had a lot of similar conversations. You also have to consider that Xbox was the distant third place console in the previous generation, so barely losing to Sony at the last minute was definitely considered a huge success. Especially after the disaster that was the RROD. If that hadn’t happened Microsoft likely would have beaten Sony’s sales.
- mrkramer 2y agoMy last gaming console was PS2 and yea I loved it because gaming consoles are meant for "couch gaming" with big TV screen and as one gaming friend of mine told me: "When you buy gaming console, you are set for the next 5 years." Moore's law kinda kills the fun for us PC gamers but I still prefer gaming on PC than on gaming consoles.
- Forgeties79 2y agoThere’s something really nice about consoles for me still. I love just dropping on my couch, pressing a button on my controller to start run console, pressing one more button to launch a game, and I am exactly where I left off last time with no load times. Takes me about seven seconds to get back in. As somebody with 2 kids it makes gaming more feasible haha
- somat 2y agoWhen you buy a gaming console you can play that consoles current generation of games. When you buy a gaming pc you can play all prior generations of pc games. * Yeah, Yeah, I know this is not really all that true/over simplified. But you have to understand I am the type who enjoyed the fight, almost more than the game. the fight? you know first you fight the pc a bit and if you win you get to play the game. Really, if you just want to sit down and game get a console.
