Despite all of that, if you shift the launch dates so they match, and compare units sold, side by side over the same time frame, the Xbox 360 has always been behind in worldwide sales, with the gap growing each year. Sure you can say "buhu, but the ps3 is still behind", and technically you'll be right, but then you have to realize that less than 2 million units ahead in a full year more on sale, isn't anything to be gloating about. |
Don't forget to include free online gaming. :)
