well if you go back and look at vgchartz sells numbers for both cosole first yr's. PS3 sold 4m+ and 360 sold 5m+. now heading into there second yr. total sales for 360 was 12m and PS3 total sells were 16m. i should beproviding a link but i don't have time. well maybe tomorrow.

Id say PS3 would be 1st between them for different reasons.

alligned launches prove nothing, they're different points in time. Let me put it in a simple and over exaggerated form.

 

Imagine it's 2005 and the 360 has released, it' sells as well as it does.

Then 2006 hits, and the PS3 comes out, BUT, everyone WW gets $1000 given to them. The whole market gets a boost.


That's extreme and not the reason. But when the PS3 released, the 360 got that gen alive and kicking, more people aware of next gen consoles ect.

good point.
