Lots of people are going on and on about how the 360 is pwning the PS3 in both 2007 and 2008. If you look at the numbers (on this site) however, this is simply not the case. Fact is, for both years, the 360 and the PS3 have sold relatively the same:
2008 (January 5, 2008 - December 6, 2008):
Console
PS3
X360
=35,971 PS3 lead
2007 (January 6, 2007 - January 5, 2008):
Console
PS3
X360
=229,541 360 lead
2007+2008 = 193,570 360 lead
So as you can see, the 7 million lead did not come from either 2007 or 2008. You can actually see that for both years, both consoles are selling at pretty much the same pace. The 360 lead comes from 2006 and 2005:
2006 (January 7, 2006 - January 6, 2007):
Console
PS3
X360
=5,539,609 360 lead
2005 (January 1, 2005 - January 7, 2006):
Console
PS3
X360
=1,294,378 360 lead
2005+2006 = 6,833,987 360 lead
So based on these numbers, the 360 is not really pwning the PS3 in head to head sales. The lead comes entirely from the early release, in 2005 and 2006. As everyone knows, the 360 had a full year head start. In conclusion, at this point in time, both consoles are selling equally. Neither is pwning the other.
I'm sure most informed people here already know this, but I just felt the need to show some of the less informed people about the facts.
