So what happened in 2008? Did Microsoft decide to release 3 exclusives that year instead of the usual 2 or 1?

They have roughly about the same amount of exclusives and Im surprised people didnt already know that PS3 has been outselling the X360. 

If you guys dont know why PS3 gets a lot of flack it's because it isn't dominating like last gen.  X360 has won America with no problems and has gained marketshare in europe.  Things has gotten better in Japan for them but still pretty horrific. 

Now with all that said who has made the most money between PS3 and X360?  sony has shown that they lack control like they did last gen while losing a lot of money.  XBOX and Nintendo has both became big competitors so I believe this is more of a win for X360 and Wii than it is for PS3.  I still dont get why you guys want to make a fan competition out of this when on all fronts PS3 has not been near as successful as PS2.  It has lost in software, profits, and marketshare but this war beteen most consoles that is only bragging rights are not effecting MSFT or Nintendo.  They have been successful this generation regardless of what kind of fan war is being made.

The same would be said if Apple closed this big of a gap while windows sold less than the previous windows.  It isn't hard to figure out guys.

Gained marketshare in Europe - Agreed. Things gotten better in Japan? - No. It still struggles and the nextbox needs to do even better to lift the impending drag it would face in that market. The fact that PS3 has performed well across all regions where Europe has been the biggest performer and the fact that it outsold 360 every year since 2009 is also a clear indicator of who actually won. You are using sales figures, profits(confined to region) and just improved marketshare as elements of console's success. This is the reason why MS strategy never worked  in their favor outside US. And the fact that PS3 has outsold 360 in Europe and Japan ages ago is something MS needs to carry over , understand its significance to become the clear winner of next generation. Ofcourse PS3 didn't perform like PS2, but it's on par with PS1. It lost a fair amount of exclusives and marketshare from MS this generation. But it was never poised to fail like how Gamecube and original Xbox failed.

Exactly my point. I always know how true, or valid my point is, based on how combative the comments are. It was a very simple post, with a very clear message. And instead of saying, "Wow, that's true, didn't realize that." you get petty bickering comments. At least one member on these forums actually thinks rationally (GameAnalyser) and understands that despite the media and advertising about 360 and it's success in America, that the PS3 is better worldwide.

The point of a thread is to discuss and jaywood seems to be doing that, you seem upset that people are discussing in a thread you knew would get a negativereaction from in the first place. You also seem to try to deny the success of the Xbox while trying to somehow insinuate the PS3 is a success. The PS3 is not asuccess in any front what so ever epically if you haven't made one dollar in profit in 6 years. PS3 is out selling the Wii know what that means, nothing consideringthe Wii destroyed the PS3
