MS didn't lose....well 2nd place isnt last. But gen over gen the Xbox brand just seems to be going up. You could say its the best selling HD console.

Article didn't explain how next gen would turn out lol. But I imagine MS momentum will keep going strong.

Adjusted for the release date and it's the worst selling HD console...

Thats Sony fan propaganda....because we dont live in an alternate universe where they launched at the same time. That argument has been shut down year after year. You gotta take 2nd place the hard way....lifetime

Dude, thats reality, not propoganda...It shows the xbox has had the weaker sales of all the 3 consoles.  Unless you want to show a lack of understanding ecomoics. 

But luckily we go by lifetime sales.

Says who? Only people who fail to understand economics would do such a thing. Plus either way with current sales, the PS3 will still overtake the xbox sales, even with the xbox having the lead. So your determination to skew the results are going to end up fruitless either way. 

Says corporate fiscal reports of lifetime shipments and vgchartz main page. Total sold. You logic cant say "PS3 sold more consoles then Xbox 360". It would have to say "PS3 sold more consoles then Xbox 360....in the same timeframe". Thats just a nice way of saying "you came late to the party but its okay". 

It will happen eventually, but the idea is that by the time it does happen, all 3 next gen consoles will be out and it would essentially be a hollow victory.

Your confirming to me that many Sony fans would love to regress to their very genetics of praising sales. You have worshipped sales for 2 generations so its my theory your just ITCHING to play that card again. But for now, you get your fix referring to "comparative timeline sales". :P

I'm kinda with sales2099 on this one. Using that PS3 vs Xbox360 argument you could also say that Nintendo DS sold waaaay better than PS2. They are quite close sales wise and DS have been out far shorter than PS2, meaning it actually sold better. But that's bullshit. PS2 sold better lifetime
