Not cherry picking at all. Had the PS3 be out 1 year alone, 360 wouldn't have existed at all you know. It would have been dead on arrival. It was a huge advantage to install the brand, having no HD competitor.
Only way to compare console sales are with aligned launches, where look, PS3 won every year. Otherwise, without aligned launches, well PS2 easily wins.
On the other hand, PS3 now wins even in weekly sales and even with a cheaper 360, so either way you look at it, PS3 is winning now, and 360 is losing.
Does it matter ? Yeah, I think so. For Sony fans it does at least. We were so bored with all those lies. It's nice to see all those people eating crows now.
