Quick corrections needed for this article.

1. Xbox isnt topping sales charts, PS3 on the other hand is.
It's almost as if xbox fanboys refuse to admit their console is 2nd best. Get a life, ladies lol.

2. Well let's be honest, time to accept PS3 sales as leading the pack.

As for all that wiiu stuff, yeah technically nintendo is in a very bad place. Maybe wiiu will succeed, who knows...up in the air. They have their chance.

Nono, Sony is in a very bad place =) you got them both mixed up ^^

Yeah, Ninty has a lot of money to use for funding games/consoles/etc.  Ask Sony's accountants and CEO how they're feeling about their companies financial position right now.  Profitability ensures long term success, not selling a few more consoles than the competition 6 years into the gen.  Nintendo is highly profitable, which is good because I'd like to play Mario and Zelda games in addition to the Halo's/Uncharted's for many years to come.  Xbox isn't topping sales charts?  If you're talking consoles depending on the time frame he could be right, but if you're talking game sales and actually making money, Xbox is way ahead of ps3.  They probably make over 100 million a month just on Live subscriptions.

Looking globally PS3 is a head of Xbox by quite a bit (disregarding this past Halo-week :P) Just imagine what a beast it could have been if it sold well in Japan as well...
