No but after time, Sony got its act together and started doing right again. Giving games games and more games like Sony has always done. Meanwhile Microsoft has gone full on casual and app crazy lately.
Actually, despite the poor library at launch, weren't the sales of the PS3 comparable to the 360's that first year? Might not have been as fast-selling as the Wii, but not abysmal.
When you consider the price of the PS3, I think it had a good launch year. It was 499/599 and people bought it and those are the ones that I can easily safe were Sony loyalist. And it was also one of the cheaper blu-ray players.
The Wii is outselling the WiiU in Europe. The WII, which hasn't had a good game come out in 14 months (9 months if you count Xenoblade, although it's been out in Japan and Europe for over 14 months), is outselling the WiiU in Europe.
damn, wii u got murdered this week there.. & PS3 is at the top.. Im living in the wrong country lol.. I love america but theres way too many xbox fanatics here.. Why? i dont have the slightest clue.. Maybe cuz its made by america? Cuz it cant just be the UI
And start next gen off strong as well with increased momentum.
Now just announce it already Sony so I can put in my pre order!
That's not a company I want to give my money to.
@Shivvy24, I didn't know that. That kinda proves my point that the high price and how it sold at launch is what made the PS3's launch year good.
I don't think Sony can do that again, Lightening doesn't always strike the same place twice.
How bizarre.
