Lifetime shipments work though by how long the item has been on the market. Logic fail. VGChartz home page isn't any sort of authority either. 

The PS3 has had a better rate of sales when launch date is adjusted, fact. It shows the PS3 is a more popular console as it has sold better, albeit having a release a year later. 

Wow. How much are you in denial? "Oh let's pretend we don't need to adjust start dates". "Oh it'd be a hollow victory". Or you mean you can't stand the notion of seeing the xbox sales be beaten by the "evil" competition. Back to reality plz and while you're at it, learn a bit about business as you obviously don't know anything about it but are making wild, and incorrect, presumtions about how sales are monitored. 

You seem to also forget about market shares dude. 

You mean the consitently decling share that predicts them losing place to Sony in about a year? Also you would look at adjusted market share - economists aren't naive and pretend that market release doest not exist.

No I mean the loss of Playstations market share of almost 50% in gen over gen cycles. 

True, but in an evolving market, you can't just compare yester-years market to the current day, like the market for horses and bayonets...
