I've read countless theories and opinions concerning people's favorite console and the reason they are "winning" the console war or why they are "losing". This invariably is followed by recommendations as to how their respective system should go about either furthering their "lead" or how to "bounce" back- So, I've decided to take another approach to what at times can be a very frustrating argument that arises when people don't see eye to eye and vehemently attack each others opinions on these matters. The purpose of this blog is to leave my own personal opinions on this subject to the side and just provide the legitimate numbers that each console has currently and what they had in the past with their last generation system-Please note, just because I used the phrase "last generation" does not mean that I am putting the Wii U in the same technological category as the PS4 and XBox1-for they are clearly the more technologically advanced-that being said I still prefer the Wii U- But again, I am leaving out my own personal preference as far as consoles go and am just going to provide the raw data for all the consoles that have been sold-
XBox-24 million
XBox360-82.9 million
XBox1-3.9 million
PS1-102.49 million
PS2-155 million
PS3-80 million
PS4-6 million
NES-61.91 million
SNES-49.10 million
N64-32.93 million
GameCube-21.74 million
Wii-100.90 million
Wii U-5.86 million
What do all these numbers mean?? For starters we can clearly see in the home console department that Sony's Playstation is clearly the best seller. However let's not forget that the handheld department is a different story- If we were to form opinions solely on the numbers provided here then we would have to put the Playstation in the number 1 position, Nintendo as number 2 and the XBox would be number 3. However as has been reflected by many irate and down right crazy fans, things are never this simple or black and white when it comes to matters of opinion especially when entertainment is the subject matter-comparatively it's kind of like Star Trek Vs Star Wars-LOL In my mind's eye there is no contest as Star Wars is clearly the better of the two and while I am picking my favorites I would vote the Wii U as the best system or as my favorite to be more politically correct-hahahaha What I am trying to say is this-its all fine and good to have a favorite and its even tolerable to voice said opinion, but the moment you start bashing other people's favorite or preference of anything simply because it doesn't match your own....well, that's when you have become either a vain and pretentious know it all that's begging to be knocked down a peg or two...or you have become intolerable for anyone that doesn't match up with what you think is the best-either one of these is unacceptable in my book-especially if it stems from how you entertain yourself-give me a break, your honestly catching feelings and getting butt-hurt simply because someone has a differing opinion than you on what gaming console is better......? Why don't we as a gaming community squash all this nonsense, live and let live and just be thankful that we have this medium in which to entertain ourselves and interact with one another- am I preaching, NO- I am appealing to people who share my favorite past time-if we can't get along in entertainment then how in the world can we ever hope to get along in real life?? Stop sweating the useless garbage and don't feed in to anyone that is trying to-hit the pause button on that trash and power up your favorite console and go slay a dragon, or kick the snot out of someone on your favorite fighting game or maybe go jump into a giant mech and defend the earth etc....all of these sound way more appealing to me than listening to spoiled brats argue over which system is better....we all have better things to do with our time, like making sure Master Chief takes down the covenant or Mario is sliding into the first place on MK8 or surviving the latest Killzone game on the PS4- Bottom line, remember what video games are all about, HAVING FUN!! If you want to argue and talk garbage to other people about their opinions then maybe you should consider becoming a politician-
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
