I honestly can't understand why this matters to anyone anymore. It's going on 5 years now for these consoles and and the low, but steadily increasing noise for the next generation has begun in earnest, from gamers to developers and upward to the big three themselves.
While this sales debate was interesting leading up to, and for a couple years after, the launch of the PS3 in 2006, Sony's inability to catch up to Microsoft and secure second place within three or four years on the market... as so many ardent, irrationaly devoted Sony fanboys predicted... has certainly taken the relevance out of this sales competition.
It really doesn't matter too much anymore.
Sony fans expected the PS3 to crush Microsoft's second proprietary gaming console, it still hasn't happened and I would venture to say that the only ones who truly care about this anymore are those that have been making yearly predictions for the PS3's take over, yearly predictions that have continually come up wrong.
Two years ago, I would have been somewhat disappointed if Sony had succeeded in that, now, I could care less. Both consoles have sold over 50 million units, have literally blown up connected online gaming for the home console crowd and accomplished a goal of each respective manufacturer; the convergence of entertainment.
By this point in the race it really shouldn't matter to anyone, other than Sony and MS, who comes in second.
If the PS3 eventually does pull that out (and honestly, given their 10 year dominance in the home console market with the PS and PS2, why would coming in second be considered anything other than a failure) I don't believe any 360 diehards will give it a second thought.
Anymore... who cares?
I think you can let it go now.
