I can't argue much with this, altho your bias is clear, for example the issues against Saturn (which was selling well in Japan as you point out) seem at odds with what a 'mess' you keep saying it was. Regardless of size of Company, an established and popular product will always have a certain...

? Vita has nothing to do with X360 vs PS3 or any other straight comparisons in this bizarre universe where X360 is seen as a 'success' for selling less than the 'complete failure' of PS3. Again, so unlike MS which is like only a little bit bigger and has only a tad more money that Sony. Again...

I think you’re totally miss reading - no-one is saying it was a success, likewise I’m not sure you can say ‘went from 24m to 84m’ in such a black and white comparison. Also, no-one is saying X360 was a failure, more that it didn’t take advantage and didn’t do as well as one might expect. Think...

1) again, an established Sega with head start vs a first console 2) just up to 8 months then - whatever, it’s enough…can you imagine what would happen this gen with a 6 month head start? 3) lol poor old MS - not even sure what you’re saying …it was true David and Goliath lol 4) yes, but US is...

Ironic and totally lost on some posters, apparently X360 was a huge success and PS3 was the worst failure ever. The lowest selling PlayStation sold more than the highest selling XBox. Mate of mine says the same thing…I think the only original part is the case! Lol

Yeah, from memory the Blu-ray drive was a Trojan horse in PS3, but I really appreciated just needing one box that did everything, I seem to recall if you actually bought the bits to make parity with PS3 the 360 cost more.

Couple of major differences; 1) PS1 was their 1st console X360 was MS 2nd 2) Saturn had a year head start PS3 did not 3) PS1 smashed it out the park in all aspects, if we’re comparing to X360 then it really did fail 4) The US will always support their own and very US focused products Which...

I’m loving the complete rose tinted glasses views of some of the posters. A year head start, cheaper product, amazing looking games, great exclusives vs overprice, huge, unstackable, dust/finger magnet which still outsold the alternative. In the end you could call both a success and a failure...

Even Neo needs to dump in the Matrix

Can’t you just look as sold eBay data for the last month?

And finally V1.0 released (early access) - it’s on all formats and £25/$30 https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10001599/ https://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/store/praey-for-the-gods/9mw41x3xhr4f (And no, I’m not on commission! Lol)

CEX have quite a few in stock these days so I feel we’re definitely getting close to the end of scalping as they soon will need to drop prices (probably right after Xmas)

I think what is muddying the water is that PS5 has several ‘issues’ in that it’s the first cross gen console, it launched in a pandemic and it’s only a year old. If you look at how games evolve from launch to end of generation you’re comparing console peek to console start - also as Shifty says...

Increased FPS was evident for me testing The Getaway (on a full fat UK model) maybe it’s dependent on the game?

Ok, I oversimplified. Nothing new that people wanted. Just producing something new is not enough - there has to be a need for it. Wii widened the gaming market by getting 'everyone' involved and Switch gives you good portability and 'good enough' power to give you an 'all in one' solution to...
