The PS3 is still tracking ahead of the X360 if you compare year over year. The PS3 sold more than 10 million consoles in 2008, while the X360 sold only 8 million in 2007.

The PS3 will easily outsell the X360 lifetime. It will soon start outselling the X360 on a weekly basis after the price drop to $299 (or even at $349) in 2009 (plus aided by KZ2, GOW 3, GT5, FF13), and with 3-4 more years to go it will easily pass the X360 by probably more than 10 million.

The X360 will sell 55 million lifetime, but the PS3 at least 65 million.

Even if that happens, Microsoft still wins

 

 

But they don't, even at best they come second. If PS3 does 65 million that means they got more sales then the 360 while MS worked harder this gen and also Sony got themselves a disc format.

Oh but they do win in that situation. You need to look past the pure numbers and look in the shift in the market. If the 360 sells 55m and PS3 65m then Microsoft will have more than doubled their previous consoles sales while Sony's will have halved. Not to mention MS is already running at a profit with the 360 while the PS3 has lost almost the entire profits from the PS1 & PS2.

That is a win in anyones book.
