It's certainly unfair. If we tracked video game hardware sales like that PS3 would appear to have more marketshare than Xbox 360.

 

Yes, it definitely would.

In a few places you can find the raw numbers.  Washington Post had a story about DVD vs VHS that talked about the number of rentals during a period.  Apparently DVD passed VHS in 2001 in terms of sales revenue, but VHS was more rented until 2003.
