It's 2008 actually, not 2009. PS3 whooped 360 in 2009 because of the slim


Define "whooped". I'm looking at two consoles with nearly the same totals yet ging into this gen SOny completely dominated the previous two generations. The Wii and the 360 knocked the King of his hill. The PS3 has made a great partial comeback, but the Playstation brand is not THE gaming icon it used to be. MS has secured it's place and the next generation will be even more competitive.

If we were talking about football teams I don't think anyone would be celebrates a win between two wild card teams that didn't make it to the Superbowl.

Why do you even consider 2006? the ps3 was only out late 2006 wasn't it?

Anyways It's no surprise that the ps3 has been outselling the 360 seeing as Everytime I check the charts the ps3 is well above the 360 in sales.

360 also out shipped in 2010 and 2011 I believe.

But through it all, 360 managed to remain 2nd for 7 years. PS3 is scratching and clawing to become a shadow of its brands former glory.

Bottom line, you guys are lowering the bar for yourselves.

Sure it took the PS3 a while to get to second place but...he who laughs last, laughs best.

And it's taking the Xbox 360 longer to be in third.  That's a perception for you.

Seriously, I lol at these threads. It doesn't matter if more PS3s were sold in this and that year.
Xbox is still leading.

The true winners of this generation are Nintendo and Microsoft. Compare the market shares of each company from last gen to this and you'll notice why Sony is declining.

And why doesn't it matter if more PS3's were sold this and that year? It shows peoples demand for the PS3 is GREATER than the 360 DESPITE it coming out 1 YEAR LATER than the 360.

Any 360 fanboy on here *cough*sales2099 for example*cough* is just trying to cover their eyes from the truth, it doesn't matter if the PS3 overtook the 360 in the beggining or the end of this Gen, fact is it WILL, but idiotic fanboys like to pretend that "it doesn't matter" and that "the new Xbox will be out soon so who cares".

PS3 will be 2nd, 360 will be 3rd, stick that up your arse 360 fanboys.


Like I said, it doesn't matter. The flame inside you is burning for more!

Who is in 2nd place right now? Exactly. Yes, PS3 sells better than Xbox but for some odd reason, Xbox is still leading. MS and Nintendo have taken the market and split it this gen. Shove that fact up yours .

I get that this is a sales centric site, where overall console shipments and sell-through numbers dominate a lot of threads, but it just seems so goofy to keep pounding out the ps3 vs. 360 fanboy war.
This OP would have been relevant a few years ago, 2008, 2009... had the PS3 lived up to the rabid expectations of it's die hard fans and outpaced the 360 at that time.... but it didn't and to keep this nonsense up more than six years after the PS3 released is really kind of pathetic.
I'm certainly an xbox guy. I've got nothing against the PS3, it's a great machine with an awesome library of games, but.. I love my 360.
Had the PS3 surpassed it a few years ago, it would have bugged me a little. Now... as I'm sure most other xbox loyalists feel, I could care less . It simply no longer matters. When Sony does take second place in overall sales, it's pretty much a hollow victory, especially considering the massive loss of market share they incurred and their unquestionable dominance that both Microsoft and Nintendo destroyed. This generation is winding down, the release of the Wii-U pretty much puts the seventh gen's first foot in the grave and both Microsoft's and Sony's next hardware cycle is right around the corner, possibly even later this year.
It's 2013. It really doesn't matter anymore.

I'm sorry, but MS doesn't release shipping numbers if I'm correct. Just making guesses are we?

Software is where sales matter. Halo 4 outsold every single PS3 exclusive this year...
