The PS3 outsold the 360's first year, even with a $600 price tag. Look up the launch sales of both consoles.

good argument... didn't think of that...

nice one!

Not really. That only happened due to a huge shortage of XBox 360. There were no shortages of PS3. After the initial launch, because were actually returning them because they could sell them for a profit on EBay. That's a fact. Gamestop and Toys R. Us even had signs on their doors claiiming they had plenty of PS3 available for sale because they were overstocked. lol!! Sony also did a price cut on the PS3 just 6 months after launch. Another fact. It wasn't at $600 for long. Research is your friend. Nice one indeed. lol!!

Then explain the inequality of all the other years. The PS3 has shown more growth if you look at it year for year.

I'm not talking about the other years, I'm talking about the 1st year only. I believe the XBox 360 outsold the PS3 the 2nd year. The other years the PS3 was selling well in Japan. People keep forgetting that Japan is the PS3 edge. If the Xbox 360 sold even 1/2 as well as the PS3 in Japan it would be a different story. Remove Japan from the equation and tally US and Europe only and the 360 has the slight edge. The PS3 sells better in the U.S. then the XBox 360 does in Japan. The only thing that was holding the PS3 back in Japan was the price. Same thing that's happening now with the PSVita. It will SELL in Japan, the price just has to drop and more JRPG, and popular games like Monster Hunter and FF needs to be released on it. It'll take off it gets down to $150 - $199. The PS3 is popular in 3 regions, the Xbox 360 is popular in only 2, which is the difference. Still compared to how the original Xbox performed against the PS2, I'd say the XBox 360 is a clear winner this generation.
