I support Microsoft buying Activision, but they are stretching the truth there. They claim that they have consistently been third, however I remember the PS3 not doing well against the Xbox 360, and then of course there’s the WiiU.
Even with the awesome fuck up that were the early PS3 days, it ended up outselling the 360 (I read that year-aligned it was never behind, but I haven’t checked). The brand is just too strong and at the time Sony had a really varied platform.
I would say that current gen is the first time in the 3D era where all big players are on the top of their game (I will accept the argument that this happened during the PS2 gen)
