I've seen a lot of people praising Sony on how they turned the PS3 around from a disastrous launch to nearly/soon overtaking the second most sold console this generation. But is this actually true? From what I can find from the sales data, no it isn't.

PS3 never made a comeback!

Take a look at this picture:

It's from right here: http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php

Looking at it it becomes very clear that PS3 never did horrible, and always sold on par with the Xbox360, and often even a bit more. The only times X360 sold better were during the Holidays. So where precisely IS this comeback? I don't see it. It's not there. PS3 has outsold the X360 pretty consistently ever since its 2nd year, only being outsold during the Holidays.

Sony never did anything to say that the PS3 made a comeback, because it never really went away. It never did so bad that it had to make a comeback.

This isn't flamebaiting, or trolling or whatever you wanna call it. I know some of you won't agree with me about this, but I just don't see where, or how, the PS3 made a comeback. As a PS fan maybe you wanna tell me what you mean when you're talking about the PS3 comeback?

EDIT:

And here's a comparison with all 3 consoles for those who wants it.


Dude...The PS3 launched a year after the 360 and now has one million consoles less after a 10 million console lead. If you average it out by years, the PS3 has sold more in a shorter amount of time.

Yeeees, and your point is? I said that in the OP more or less; PS3 always sold on par or better than the X360, which means that it never did too shabby to begin with, and therefore never had a comeback - since it actually never did poorly (relatively speaking of course)
