Also worth noting, 2008 PS3 > 2009 360 > 2009 PS3 > 2008 360.

So enough with the doom and gloom! The 360 didn't exactly die after 2008, did it?

but 

2009 360> 2008 360 > 2007 360  keep getting stronger

2008 PS3 >2009 PS3 > 2007 PS3

 

But whos to say that "low sales"-improvements is the same as "getting stronger". And not on par with previous-"high sales" is "losing" ?

Example:

Day 1 - Chipmunk A collects 2 apples for winter, and Chipmunk B collects 3 apples (providing Chipmunks eat apples :))
Day 2 - Chipmunk A collects 3 apples for winter, and Chipmunk B collects 5 apples
Day 3 - Chipmunk A collects 4 apples for winter, and Chipmunk B collects 3 apples.

Why is it that Chipmunk A by default is "going strong", while Chipmunk B is "losing"? When the total adds up to a total of 9 apples vs 11 apples?

Poor analogy and rather meaningless in this context

Well then.. try this one on for size.

Why is it that "lower sales"-improvements is the same as "getting stronger". While "not on par with previous high sales" is "losing"?

Year 1 360 sells 2.3m, PS3 sells 2.4m
Year 2 360 sells 3.4m, PS3 sells 4.7m
Year 3 360 sells 4.1m, PS3 sells 3.7m

So why is it that the 360 by default is "going strong", while PS3 is "losing"? When the total adds up to 9.8m vs 10.8m?

So if the 360 should end up on 3.9 next period, is it the same as "losing", or a "nose dive"? And if the PS3 sells 3.9 next period, would that be equal to "going stronger" since it improved their last result?
