See this is exactly my point its just a forth and back arguement all the time.This will never be settled until the 2 consols are last gen and both have stopped selling.Any smart person would see that PS3 is selling more consols than the Xbox 360 on a timeline basis-something i should have pointed out in my last post even though i mention it in it but as i say Xbox fanboys are so arrogant

Anyway any smart person can just go here

  http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&weeks=170

and see what the article in the original thread was saying and what i've been saying for months now.But yet again i have to say this again Xbox fanboys are to arrogant to accept this so that chart really doesn't matter.

Now taking this from the chart which is factual evidence about the sales.PS3 has sold 21.57 million units since it first launched while in the same timeframe Xbox 360 managed to sell 18 million units giving PS3 a 3.5 million lead on Xbox 360 so can yous please look at the chart and see for yourselfs and anyone who doesn't accept what the chart says will now be classing themselfs as the arrogant people i've been talking about

For one, I'm not an X360 fanboy.  Yet again you're using an alignment that is irrelevant.   The question is,  "So who really has sold more consoles? Sony or Microsoft?"   An alignment like the one you're championing has no relevancy to the posed query.

Since the X360 launched, since the PS3 launched, since 2007, since 2008, since 2009, since last month, since last week....X360 has sold more.

 

The only reason we go back and forth is because Sony fans continue to utilize the irrelevant aligned launch as a means to suggest PS3 has magically sold more units.   Yes, the PS3 has sold more units given the same sales timeline but that's a theoretical alignment and not an emprically applied timeline.
