I don't agree with any of this.  I almost replied to the "Microsoft DEFEETED Sony thread" but somehow I held it off.  Sony is not defeated.  Nothing is wrong.  The Playstation brand is not falling. 

How often do people need to be reminded.

          year 1             year 2             year 3             year 4

PS3: 5,856,110     16,871,475      20,809,951 (current year)

360: 5,895,015     13,631,951      23,279,252    28,913,386 (current year)

The above info is from this website.  The above numbers might be off a bit depending on which week you choose, but as you can see, for each systems first year they were pretty much side by side for sales.  Things look very different for the next year.  The PS3 in it's second year outsold the 360 by a little over 3 million for it's second year.  And moving onto the PS3's third year, which is the year we are in and it is far from over.  The PS3 only needs a little less than 3 million to outsell the 360. 

There is even this to back up my info.  I'm sure "some" of you have seen it.

This is the only thing I really need to say to sony.

The thing I see of that

 

5,856,110 vs 13,631,951

16,871,475 vs 23,279,252

20,809,951 vs 28,913,386

 

If the Ps3 has never outsold the 360 in a year and Microsoft has said that the 360 will last as long as the Ps3 how can the Ps3 win?

 

 

 

You are still comparing one systems year 1 total to another systems year 2 total, and year 2 to 3 and 3 to 4.  If you actually took the time to read my post you would see that the PS3 year over year IS outselling the 360 but the majority of people forget about that extra year or throw it to the side.  They don't want to think about it and how without it, things would be different. 

Sony is and always will be fine.

 

The thing with comparing year 1 to year 1 is most multiplatform games for the PS3 come out a year earlier in it's lifetime then X360.

For instanst GTA4

x360 year 3

PS3 year 2.

Now which one would sell more in year 2 as a result of GTA4.

How disadvantaged was the 360 by people waiting for the PS3

and

Microsoft has said that the 360 will last as long as the PS3 i.e The PS3 will always be a year behind.
