Xbox 360 Vs. Playstation 3 2012 - *February* Update

[Chunkysatsuma]

When Mircrosoft entered the console market they had a three console strategy.
Console one - establish a foothold in the market
Console two - establish the brand
Console three - challenge Sony for dominance
(this was what microsofts execs discussed in interviews at the end of the original xbox)

When the PS3 was launched people said it would take less than a year to destroy the 360s sale lead, each year has been "the year of the playstation" each year has failed to destroy the 360, even this year which to me is the weakest in terms of content for the 360 the PS3 (which has had Killzone 3, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 etc) will only have sold around 300,000 units more.

Without a shadow of a doubt it is Microsoft who will be most pleased, who would have thought 5 years after the PS3 launched it would still be over 3 million consoles behind the 360 - when Sony do overtake the 360 (and I genuinly think Sony will pip the 360 to second spot behind the Wii) it will be as the next gen is launching and wont make the blindest bit of difference by that point.
