Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
All of those options, especially on the PS3 side can be disputed

If MS does not install at least 3-4m units in the US (assuming they have a fully year advantage in the territory) then I'd say they blew their advanage of the early launch. I'm interested in your take.

Times have changed from 1999, the comparison really isn't relevent. At the time, the DC was the fastest-selling console ever.gofreak said:I agree that holiday launches help - but just to pick up on the point re. DC and PSP, DC took over two weeks to sell what PSP sold in two days. Is 500k units in 2 days disappointing? It's all relative to the goals you set yourself, so from that point of view you could say it was disappointing for SCEA (who probably hoped to move 1m very quickly). But in absolute numbers, the PSP launch was a better one than DC's, and thus compared to it can't be considered disappointing.

Nintendo had an iron grip on this industry with the NES and Sega took nearly a 50 percent marketshare in NA with the Genesis. Why can't MS take a 50 percent share or better with the 360?
