PS4 is not being sold for a loss, it was profitable back in early 2014.
I'm aware. But that's not what this is trying to say. It includes the PS3 as well. And it's meaningless regardless

I mean, as far as the Wii goes, it was far cheaper than the ps3. Revenue is a pretty meaningless number in and of itself without knowing losses as well.

It's an indicator of global money spent in a market.

That's fair, but then the title and subject of this thread shouldn't be focused on Sony at all
Revenue does not equal profit. I imagine Nintendo is profiting the most, especially if you include 3DS.
Impressive though.
Wasn't PSP also relatively fast abandoned?
Here's a list of notable consoles that sold LESS than PSP.
Game Boy Advance. Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo 3DS. Super Nintendo. Sega Genesis. Nintendo 64. Xbox. Playstation 4. Gamecube. Xbox One. And so on.
PSP sold 82 million. It's actually the 8th highest selling console of all time.

Playstation brand has always been stronger than competition, I would even say that its the strongest gaming brand in history. This news is not surprising at all.

He wasn't inquiring about PSP sales, but rather first party support from Sony.
what? I don't think PSP actually got to 82 million
As a PS4 owner, I find this highly confusing.No surprise there. Xbone barely has anything good that's exclusive to it and wii u is a flop.
Sony has the worldwide appeal. Microsoft and Nintendo does not. This is nothing surprising.
In 2014. Thread title is a bit misleading.
I can agree on MIcrosoft, but I'm confused at Nintendo. Nintendo's console success is usually either there across the board, or not there across the board. The Wii was absolutely the most successful anywhere in the world of it's generation. You have a point only if you talk handhelds, but that's because handhelds as a market are far bigger in Japan than anywhere else.Sony has the worldwide appeal. Microsoft and Nintendo does not. This is nothing surprising.
From 2006 to 2010, it absolutely was not the strongest brand.
Overall though, yeah, although Nintendo is probably more culturally significant.
Mind boggling how low Nintendo has fallen.
...While all of Sonys other divisions failed. PS seems to be Sonys only focus - that and Spiderman. It was as though Sony forgot they sell other products other than the PS.
Sony is a leader in the console space but at a giantic cost to Sony as a company.
Depends on the region, in some parts of the world Playstation is synonymous with gaming, like some parts of Europe or the Middle East.

Wii sold more in Europe than the ps3 did

Wii sold more in Europe than the ps3 did
The numbers I'm seeing are 30 million for ps3 as of december 2012 and 39.14 million for Wii as of the same time periodNintendo was never as bad as MS, they had strong presence in most first world countries, but they were still lacking in developing countries.
It didn't.

Actually I don't think that's true any more based on some recent data I have access to.
But then I'm not entirely sure as Nintendo don't split Europe from RoTW.

The Wii U is a colossal failure, especially compared to the major success that was the Wii. And both are priced much cheaper than their competition. This should surprise nobody
Wii sold to people who are never going to buy a gaming console ever again. They hit a market that has moved onto mobile gaming.

Those people were willing to buy another console, according to Sony, about a third of the PS4 owners were previously Wii owners.
Any estimation on WW PS3 sales?

has always
Yeah, that makes it harder. But PS3 also groups Australia with Europe as they're both part of the PAL region, and I'm not sure what other major regions there are
That probably includes people with Wii+something else...regardless that ratio will only fall as time goes on.Those people were willing to buy another console, according to Sony, about a third of the PS4 owners were previously Wii owners.
