It's true that PlayStation 3 sold marginally better than 360.
However, in terms of overall success it's much more clear cut - one platform grew the brand 350% the other decreased by 45% and sold almost half the units of the previous generation.
Great point about the DVD player, that's something I'd not considered.
@gamingunited
"PS3 and Xbox 360 were equal in sales but the former still “failed”" = PlayStation failed."
PS2 Sales 155 Million > PS3 Sales 87 Million
Xbox Sales 24 Million > 360 Sales 84 Million
PlayStation 3 sales down 68M units
That's a generational decrease of 44%.
Xbox 360 Sales up 60M units.
That's a generational increase of 350%.

"Just slight correction that's due to a sale. The regular price tends to be alot higher than 1$. I don't want people reading your comment and think that it's really 1$ without knowing that it's because of a sale."

Well spotted.
@Thundercat77
"Has Game Pass helped Xbox in any away against its competitors?"
Maybe, maybe not, but as a CONSUMER not a SHAREHOLDER I'd much rather have a large selection of games for a fair monthly price that I can play and enjoy as opposed to reading about how the platform I own is dominating another.

@CP_Company
"PS Now has 50% of the market, gamepass like 15%?"
Yet as of April this year PS Now had only 700,000 subscribers out of a install base of 90+ million, less than 1%.
Currently Gamepass has 9.5 million subscribers which is roughly 25% of the install base.
So you tell me which service offers the better value, because despite your claims it seems that gamers on PlayStation are voting with their walle...
Agree 100%,
Bloodborne is my favourite game this generation along with MHW.
It's a testament to the games quality that many people are still playing the online even today many years after the games release.
I never struggle for players to co op with and can always find other players worlds to invade when I feel like being evil.
@rainslacker
"From a game design stand point, a MP game of this nature shouldn't be ruined completely due to one person quitting"
It's not just one person though and you know that, a company doesn't impose player base restrictions because the odd person quits from time to time.

Looking at your comment history it seems the ACTUAL problem you have with...

In your opinion is it ok for someone to talk loudly the whole way through a film that you've paid to watch at the cinema even if theyv'e bought a ticket the same as you?

@NoLife
Sorry to hear about your ban NoLife, but I do stand by what I said in a previous post.
To be banned for the full 640 days you would have had to have quit more than one or two matches early.
Regardless of your motive for doing so this would have had a negative impact both on your own team (assuming you were playing a team based game mode ) as well as impacting the experience of your opponents who would have been match made into ...
Haha so true !
@Fox
I remember staying up late playing Metal Gear Solid on the original PlayStation.
The part where you had to get the radio frequency from the back of the games box was genius :D
Also the incredible fight with Psycho Mantis when he checked your memory card for save-games then 'read your mind' , and the part where he changed your TV channel in the middle of the fight had me really confused but super impressed!
@Sprinterboy
"how old are you like 5"
You're the one crying because the devs won't let you ruin the experience for others by quitting.
@Jin_Sakai
"If people know they get banned like this for quitting they’ll likely just either play like sh*t or not play at all instead of quitting. So it doesn’t solve the problem"
They are quitting to preserve stats such as KD and Win / Loss ratio as well as skill placement in ranked matches. If they don't play or play badly then their rank will go down.
Thanks :)

I've played every single Kojima Metal Gear game and enjoyed them all.
I really like that Kojima dares to be different, I cannot wait to see what he has developed free from Konami's influence.
I cannot wait for Death Stranding.
@sprinterboy
"If I've paid money to watch a film at the cinema I should be able to shout, scream and be disruptive regardless of the fact that this will ruin the experience for others"
= Your logic
This game looks great, everything I read about it is positive.
Time to fire up the Pro and give it a go!
@SpineSaw
I'm assuming you're being sarcastic because I don't believe anyone would post something this stupid, what's more worrying is the 9 people that have agreed with you :/
But just in case you're not I'd like to point out the flaws in your post

Shawn Layden said it himself.
"Many of you know that PlayStation 2 was an industry triumph," Layden said. "It remains one of the best-selling consoles of all time. But coming off the heels of that was PlayStation 3, a stark moment of hubris in the nearly 25 years of PlayStation history. As we sometimes call it, PS3 was our Icarus moment...
