Sales numbers mostly show 360 has had a one year headstart and was alone without competitor as a next gen console, a huge advantage for MS, a huge blunder by Sony. Had both consoles been released at the same time, console war wouldn't even have existed actually. Counting the units now doesn't make sense, this gen is only half its lifetime. Or take it at the PS3 launch instant to make your point even better, it's 5million vs zero for PS3, wow it's so impressive to sell more when your competitor isn't released. lol

They also show 360 was lot cheaper than the PS3. Other than that, they don't show anything. Sony coming back on top in core gaming, as usual. Just slower due to spending a lot more than needed in R & D. MS slowly going to last place again. Business as usual.

Nintendo winning hugely in casual gaming is the major new fact, which is nice. Some of those people will buy a PS4 eventually.

When will the 360 come back you say ? It won't. Unless you think Natal will steal the Wii crowd. Which I highly doubt. Not a chance.

Fair enough and i agree with the head start thing. But i said Sony F'ed up and that was part of it. Ya know if Nintendo used CDs for the N64 back in the day then the FF games, amung many other great games, would have never been on the PS1. But that didnt happen so things turned out the way they did. Same thing this gen.

Also no one forced Sony to make such a monster of a machine. That was there decision and they have suffered because of it. Not an excuse either. They made a monster and they had to charge acordingly. There decision and a wrong one.

And i agree that MS will end up in last place but my point stands. They have made up some important ground this gen. Maby next gen they take it all. Who knows.
