Sure, if you compare Microsoft's best effort, 360, to Sony's worst, PS3, then they're equal.
But Microsoft has thrown billions of dollars at the Xbox brand and has yet to equal the success of any of the winning consoles over the years. 360 might outsell Super Nintendo by the end of its run, but it will have had more time on the market than SNES. I guess it will also outsell Atari, but that system was released over 30 years ago to a market that didn't even exist yet.
Xbox has achieved some nice things but if it weren't for Microsoft's big bucks it would have died long ago.
