Third place? Last I checked the PS3 was released one year after the Xbox 360, and yet their sales are nearly equivalent. Logic much?


Yes 3rd place. You can read. Ill give you some good numbers.

Wii - 99,019,640
360 - 74,519,356
PS3 - 73,206,500

See. The PS3 has sold less than the Wii and less than the 360. Its currently in 3rd place.


You don't seem to get the point. The PS3 was released a year after the 360. The means the PS3 has sold far more units per year than the Xbox 360. It's barely third in absolute sales (which means nothing), but second in sales per units by a wide margin, the only statistic that actually makes sense. If you REALLY want to use total sale, you'd need to add in the last year of PS2's sales to the PS3's sales to properly compare it to the 360, which is still larger.

This is proper logic and not the stupid still not ahead like the friend who takes a 10 sec head start in a race, wins by 2 sec and says he won and is faster.
