Not really, you are willing to bet that PS3 will take 2nd before next Xbox is out, which I doubt given low sales of non-holiday months and MS doing a price drop mid-year to make way for next generation.You also waive your hand at MS and Sony financial statements because 360 and PS3 are grouped with other devices. But we do know that MS has made profit on Xbox far sooner then PS3 did and PS3s 2006-2009 net losses far outweigh 360s initial losses and the RROD thingy.
You say PS3 sold more since 2008, but I say 360 has more lifetime sales throughout it all. PS3 can claw its way year after year no problem, but 360 was 2nd place the entire time, and again made tons more improvements gen over gen.
My sig is comparing 2 IPs. Just happens that the last GT game was released in 2010. Not my problem. Your comparing 2 IPs that nobody really compares anymore or debates about seriously. Thats where your sig is wrong. Relevance is key.

Huge games next year for ps3 + price drop = huge sales. (We've seen it before, history repeats itself) 360 is tanking hard, down 33% on the year, will be down 40% next year in my projection allowing the PS3 to surpass the 360 in November. Even if current trends held firm with Ps3: (-25%) and 360: (-33%) the consoles would finish dead even for 2013. I don't see this happening, the PS3 has more room to work with for price and plenty of big hits coming, it will finish with a comparable year to 2012 albeit still down YOY.
You are using suppositions to substantiate your point - we do not know of net numbers for either product. The initial losses were comparable IIRC.
No, you aren't comparing 2 IPs, you are comparing 2 franchises' sales figures from 2012 - One such franchise released 2 years prior, the other franchise's games released this year and 1 year prior. If you cannot understand what's so illogical about that, perhaps you should seek a rudimentary logic course.

IMO the sales for non holiday months will put PS3 within 500k of 360 come october 2013. We shall see I suppose.
Your using the lack of concrete data to sweep what we do know under the rug. PS3 2006-2009 losses far outweigh its profitability and probably will never make a net profit. 360 however has a chance, allthough it isn't quite there yet. Either way we know that 360 has made more profit this gen, since its been so since 2008.
My sig is comparing 2 rival IPS and what each is bringing to the table in 2012. Not my problem when they released. Nobody said this was fair, industry hardly is. But above all else its about two franchises that get people talking, thats where your flattering parody doesnt get it.

People are talking about PS3 and 360 yet you're in here downplaying PS3 potentially passing it based on how irrelevant the timeline is. So who really cares that a game from 2011 and a game from 2012 are currently outselling a game from 2010, especially when that 2010 game overall has like double the sales of those two Forza games combined LOL.
Seems your sig is meant to do nothing but troll, and now your feelings are clearly hurt that someone did it even better.

GT fans seem to care, that 2012 doesnt belong to them. But Id rather not get into this. I say it on YT all the time; I can't get hurt, im not 3rd place.....yet :P. But in regards to the OP, if next Xbox releases first, its totally ok.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
