With the total sales of the XB1 and PS3 being fairly close, I think it would be interesting to see that sale comparison.
Hurray for PS4!
Long live the king.
So I keep reading that the PS3 had a slow terrible start, the Xbone instead is just doing marvel and then according to vgchartz in the first 20 months the PS3 performed better than the XBone? This with Europe joining the club 6 months later.
Pretty flat this year...
Lot of big games released in first half 2008. GTAIV and MGS4 boost PS3 sales.
Now imagine how incredible this generation numbers could be if Nintendo was not dragging it down...
I disagree. Last generation was a kind of its own, with the Wii storming the market by surprise. If you go to the PS2 generation, things aren't much different than today. If today numbers are not the same as the Wii generation is also Sony's and Microsoft's fault, as they were also incapable of appealing past Wii owners.
