...so if we were to adjust sales for comparable time on the market, which console has sold more? I have been wondering this for a while. seems odd that I havent scene this on the forums before. any info would be great.


its boring (been discussed a bazillion times)

irrelevant (an install base is an install base)

and bloody easy to work out.....

so why start a thread to ask?

This this this this this and this.

Also it's cherry picking.  After selling over 100 million consoles and dominated the competition for 10 years and 2 generations, the PS3 was supposed to rule all this gen.  People try and spin it all kinds of ways after the fact, but we all know that going back to 2005 and 2006 the common viewpoint was that the 360 was not going to sell anywhere near as much as the PS3 and would be passed in short order.  Yet here were are, into year 5 of the PS3 and it still hasn't happened yet.  So cherry picking little stats like this (as well as making a huge celebration of how close the PS3 is now) just isn't very constructive.


Actually, your post is cherry picking. PlayStation 3 has outsold Xbox 360 by 1.5 million since its launch and that is a FACT that is ver muhc ignored and hated around here (just like any other fact that puts Sony up) Its you who are doing cherrypicking by saying ''Oh but 6 years ago people thought that... Its irrelevant that PS3 actually did outsold Xbox, what matters is that people thought it would have done that by larger margin 6 yeats ago so really, Xbox is the winner !!! '' You are the only one doing cherry picking. The guy asked how big would the gap be in Xbox didn have a head start, he didnt say ''heh, if PS3 luanched at the same time, it would be in 2nd place in sales !!!!!!11!!!!1!! '' You just assumed that, because you dont like that fact very much
