Good points to know. But wouldn't you say that Sony's PS3's late gen push recovered a lot of gamers with exclusives and thus outsold the 360 paving the way for the PS4s crushing success. Sony was the favorite this gen they had built the momentum, no one imploded. 

It could be many things, Xbox did take there foot off the pedal on the last couple of years of the 360 which allowed PS3 to catch up. A good example here would be Sony bringing GT6 to finish off the PS3 while MS moved FM5 to the XB1 instead of the 360. 

The total sales result was really scored in junk time in the generation if we put it in sports thermology.

Foot off the pedal? They never had it on the pedal. The initial success 360 enjoyed was all thanks to PS3 releasing a year late at a ridiculous price. If not for that 360 would've done just as badly as everything else MS has released in the consumer market.
