At the end of 2006 there were a ton of 360's sitting on shelves and very few if any PS3's. Think about it, MS said they shipped 10.4m units by Jan 1 2007, yet all numbers from all accounting places put the actual sold number to about 8m sold at most. So that means they had 2.5m units sitting around the world. Then they only shipped another 6m, or so, units in 2007.
At the end of 2007 both had anywhere from 1m to 2m units sitting on shelves or in transit.
You can easily see this if you look at their latest quarterly statements. VGC is pretty accurate. 100% perfect, no, but, as close as anyone else.
Basically it breaks down to this.
PS3's first in on the market (2007) was better than 360's first year on the market (2006).
360's 2007 was better than PS3's 2007.
But, statistically speaking regardless of whom is slightly above whom, they are tied for 2007 at 8m units sold.
