The PS3 beat the 360 on software sales by a crazy amount, it sold even more software units than the wii, so technically PlayStation has never really lost a generation
Kind of a similar story to how the SNES was ultimately able to beat the Genesis by the end of its own lifespan, before both Nintendo and Sega ironically faced Sony’s PS1 and PS2 and lost in the market.
PS3 killed the bespoke, exotic console architecture. The Cell chip, Blu-Ray drive and stuffing a whole PS2 into it drove up the price, and it's been said that sourcing the Blu-Ray drives themselves directly contributed to the system's delays in reaching the market. But forcing programmers to jump through the hoops required to deliver respectable results wrangling the Cell BE and its SPU cores was what hurt the system the most during its early years. It's no wonder consoles are basically all custom x86-64 PCs or (in Nintendo's case) Android-compatible ARM devices now.
Randomyly found your video via the algorithm, but was surprised to see you're not that popular, bc this was well-made! I'd love for you to break down Microsoft being little bitches about buying Bethesda and Activision which takes non-exclusive to exclusive, which is a huge gaming no-no
@@ZackLillipad Absolutely. Backwards compatibility and game pass are great for ALL consumers and having even one console do it proves to everyone it can happen. They keep one another in check and this a delicate balance is needed for the benifit of everyone.
thank you for not adding annoying "woosh" sound effects every time something changes on screen 🙏 Good video keep it up.

I like the wii, but I admit it was pretty much a dust collector after casuals got their 20mins of fun from it.

This video deserves way more views..
Great job bud. Can't wait for the Xbox come back story.... Eventually 😂
(I'm a Xbox owner and this is a light hearted joke, relax)
Even though I don’t play Xbox I also very much hope they can bounce back.
PlayStation is better with competition, the industry needs it 🙏
