Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

I’m sorry, is this thread under the misconception that the X360 outsold the PS3? Because that’s wrong.

X360 did win in North America, but PS3 had a small lead globally. The PS3 was completely dominant in Japan, and had a sizable lead in Europe.
If it wasn’t for the Red Ring of Death, the X360 probably would have won. In many ways, Microsoft’s gaming division never recovered from that.

Ps3 barely squeaked out a win in the last year or two, the 360 was the leading console for most of that generation.
Looking back now, I have a modded 360, and any titles that came out for both systems, the Xbox usually was the better version. The modding process for Xbox was a huge pain in the ass though, while the ps3 is super easy to run a software exploit and unsigned code (aka ethically sources ISOs)
7th gen was such a great generation of consoles. they hold up because hd and they are still super fun because no micro transaction bullshit
