PS3 outsellls 360 year to year?  Is that why they are still behind 360 ?  If they truely outsold them they would at least be slightly ahead.  PS3 had a decent year because they released their slim model and had a small price cut.  Now Xbox 360 has done the same and is also going to have another good year.  Debates like this are prety worthless, I say everyone in doubt go look for yourself and the books and net numbers at Forbes, wallstreet.  MS as whole made much more money, for the last 3 yrs 360 has added a net profit the the bottom line ( 38 million after bills from the Xbox division) and a recent article from wallstreet points out Sony's PC and Gaming division was completely in the red this year - Red means loss folks.  Why is MS netting a profit from 360? More games sold, and 20 Million Xbox Live members rakes in cash too..

This is the irrelevant. This thread isn't about money made from either MS or Sony. I's about the amount of units their going to sell in the future. 

As is all your subjective campaigning about the 'PS3's brighter future and "demolishing" 2011 lineup...

imo, its gonna happen, maybe not soon, but eventually the PS3 will outsell the 360 worldwide. why?? because the price of the PS3 has been higher than the 360, but has still being outselling the 360 for a lot of the time so far. including the fact that theres a whole load of exclusives that we know are coming and a whole load we are expecting to hear about next year or at TGS.

You say it's irrelavant... Is it irrelavant to the corporations and stock holders? No.  it effects everything, including the next console, timing and price,  it also has infleunce on how many developers will write games and for what console.   If you think MS can't make a price war that will hurt you're assuming alot, because they have more room since they did actually net a profit from the XB division and Sony didn't.  I honestly feel the PS3 sold better this year slightly ( not including America ) then the Xbox 360 worldwide and pretty much d/t the price cut after they released the slim model.  My brother even bought one, but like most people he has all three consoles.   My cousin had only a wii and just bought his first 360.  I beleive PS3's momentum from their price drop is leveling off.  I think the new slim Xbox will likely help worldwide sales of the 360 for months, even if not at the current level, it'll keep the consoles even worldwide, but in America forget it.  I think console sales units do matter to an extent, but stockholders only care about the bottom line.  And again that will hopefully make Sony a bit smarter next time.  I loved the PS2, I just think they got greedy this time.
