Do you think the success of the Playstation can ever be repeated?

>came into the market at its infancy
This also discredits Sony

the 360 was MS's second and selling little more than 10000 more than the PS3 is not really dominating
besides the Wii was obviously the dominator of gen 7

how really?
when Atari came into the market the only other real competition was the Magnavox Odyssey
when Sony came into the market it wasnt just Nintendo and Sega dominating, but there where also NEO GEO and PC Engine/TG16

The 360 went extremely well seeing as how Sony was dominating the industry for 2 consecutive generations at that point. Also PS3's were sold at almost $300 loss per unit during its earlier run with a lower attach rate than the 360, clearly the Xbox 360 was the better performer finance wise.

By dominating do you mean very mild profits from flooding the market with products sold at a loss for two consecutive generations, and then losing everything on the PS3, but not failing like sega because big daddy mega conglomerate tech giant sony could lean on its insurance and speaker division to stay afloat, and they didn't actually have massive success until the PS4 20 years later? No, no one else has done that.

>You're now aware that PlayStation fired the first shot in the Exclusives war with paid 3rd party exclusives, dooming console gaming to forever be shit and requiring 2-3 different consoles to enjoy all your favorite games.

>Sega
>NEO GEO
>PC Engine/TG16
>dominating

>no one remembers the Sony + Nintendo collaboration before the PlayStation.

Curation is not the same thing as exclusivity. It's the literal opposite.

>curation
this wasnt fucking curation
more like taking steps in having a monopoly

The Playstation was no fluke, it was the byproduct of Sony working with Nintendo for years before deciding to split off and publish their work alone, the Playstation was originally designed as a beefed up SNES, and the final product still used a lot of the SNES' architecture.

Yeah, and before that they made wooden toys and playing cards.

Theyve always been a toy company. The famicom was just an electronic toy.

why is that so out of date?

I think if Activision had made their own console at the peak of Call of Duty then they could have been dominant, you need that killer app.

nintendo did this in master system or mega drive era

That has very little to do with a loss of popularity, it's simply that the 2000s saw a massive boom in console sales among normies, before that consoles were a niche and now with the advent of smartphones and smart tvs most normies simply find their entertainment in other sources, the numbers of people currently buying consoles are the core audience and the number will remain stagnant until the next crash.

In China since the US isn't likely to stop its descent into a third world country. Phone games supported by jewish whales is the future for the US games industry.

>the numbers of people currently buying consoles are the core audience and the number will remain stagnant until the next crash.
that's really true when you think about how PS4 reached 100 million in about the same time frame as the PS2
just under 2 months faster
