...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.

Well said.  Do we compare only what slected info we want and say that the other info doesn'y matter?  Sony decided to launch a year later and much more expensive.  They chose to have Move come out 4 years later..  does that mean that we don't compare their sales of the ps3 to the wii from when the move came out?
