You are right, but most people on the internet on forums like this see this battle in black and white (me too, mostly).

Who sells most consoles before next gen starts is the winner between PS3 and X360. Everyone on VGC is referring to battle for 'second' and 'third' place.

And just imagine in your head for a second that it's early January 2010 and the PS3 has just won the Holidays by 1 million units over the X360, going into 2010 with huge momentum. The majority consensus on this site would declare second place for PS3 and third for X360 in this gen, there would even be no argument.

LOL!  Well, that is fairly black and white.  As for me, I think MS has already "won" in this generation as they've done much better, marketshare-wise, than they did last generation and have captured a number of very high-profile games that were Sony exclusive last generation.  Wii has won as far as being in the number 1 spot.  PS3 is a dismal failure compared to the PS2 if you consider the relative market share, but it wins in a number of ways as well, particularly as a media server.
