oh are we combining competitors now, then lets throw the atari 7800's 3.77 million in there with the master system. and how about we stop lowballing that and give it 11.5 since there's apparently not an exact figure. now the NES is only doing 4.05x the combined competition, versus the PS2's 3.37x. and the NES drops to 3.69x if SMS gets the full 13mil.
hmm thats a lot more similar, and the difference is even less significant when you realize how faulty it is to compare percentages across markets that have more than doubled in size
and then there's the question of whether it's correct to be comparing combined competition, maybe the true measure of dominance is how many times greater than its nearest competitor it is (4.76-6.19x NES vs 6.43x PS2)
what im saying is that suggesting the PS2 was not dominant is absurd
