If the 360 didn't have a year head start the ps3 would already have outsold it, if you take away the 360s sales of the last year ps3 is way ahead, it's a small miracle the 360 was able to even keep it's lead with it's fallrate and lack of decent exclusives MS really downplayed the fallrate and managed to make people think multiplats were exclusive the 360 does not sell on merit

1st year sales for the 360 per VGC: 5.5 million
Current 360 lead over the PS3 per VGC: 5.4 million (though at times it was over 8 million).
Seriously,your post is filled with so many inaccuracies and misrepresentation of facts that it didn't deserve to be responded to. But sometimes it just needs to be done.
Let's do this: don't downplay the success of the 360 and people won't downplay the success of the PS3. See how that works?

lol going by VGC why don't you just get a random number generator, and I said take away the last year not the first, over time consoles lower price have more time to advertise and come out with more games, the fairest assessment is comparing respective years on the market so have 360 from 2005-2009 and ps3 from 2006-2010, not to mention the fact that ps3 sells more on average per year

But its not the fairest assessment. We could go back and forth about what the fairest assessment is. For instance, based on EXPECTATIONS, the PS3 was expected to blow away the 360 and Wii prior to launch. People were calling it the Dreamcast 2. And that makes sense, as the previous Playstation consoles were not only market leaders but DOMINATED with sales of over 100 million consoles each. So wouldn't being fair include that the underdog 360 has impressed by not only outselling its predecessor immensely but by NOT giving up any lead to the 3rd console of the Playstation legacy?
That's why I stated what I stated before: they are both selling good right now, so why take pot shots at them? The PS3, as the 3rd place console, will shortly have sold better than any 2nd place console before it. This gen has been an impressive feat overall. As gamers, isn't that what we should be excited about?

lol expectations are pure bullshit, and always overestimated, EA expected Mirror's Edge to sell 3 mil out of the gate lol (with PC/360/ps3 it's a little over 2 mil now) so no factoring in peoples expectations which weren't even based on the actual consoles in question is not even remotely fair and I don't find massive failrates, lying about exclusives being exclusives, misleading commercials about multiplats making them look exclusive impressive, the 360 is not impressive at anything besides screwing over consumers and spreading misconceptions
