In my opinion, I think ranking the consoles along first, second, and third place does not tell the whole picture of the competition for this generation. For example, while the Wii has led the generation in hardware sales, it's also important to recognize it's sharp decline, as well as where much of the third-party support focused on.
A reasonable PS3 fan will recognize that no matter how this generation ends up, the 360 managed to hold onto second place for the majority (or all the generation). However, a reasonable 360 fan should also recognize that the PS3 has been in the market for a shorter duration, and managed to sell at a higher rate across its lifetime. Lastly, both fans should recognize that there is currently less than a 1% difference in total hardware sales between the two (according to the information on the front page).
Overall, this has been a very competitive generation, and this doesn't even include all of the gamers on PC, phones, tablets, and so on.
