The car of the top driver in the Formula 1 has a problem early on in the race and he has to make a long pit stop to get it fixed. After he gets back on the track he pulls off one fastest lap record after another, but until the end of the race he still doesn't manage to get back into first place. Sure, he was the fastest man in the race if you look at individual lap times, but overall he wasn't first. Now who would seriously consider him to be the winner of the race?

The point is you are not in a certain position until you are in that certain position.

You forgot the part where the other racer has to "buy 2nd place" as Microsoft has been doing.

You forgot the part where Sony has lost money on the Playstation 3 while Microsoft is somewhere close to break-even on the 360.

"Buying", indeed.
