1. It went from a faraway 3rd place, to a close 3rd place. And possibly a close 2nd place. Marketshare terms: went from 22% to 30%. Could go to 33% assuming generous sales of 360.

2.I am of course including Wii as Wii was its main competitor for the generation. Wii was the first console to dethrone a PS home console from 1st place. Excluding Wii is like excluding PS2 and comparing gamecube and Xbox.

It was only a far away 3rd because it launched later than X360, but already from the get go it was closing that gap, and continued to do so - that's not making a come back. A comeback is: a return to being popular or fashionable - and since PS3 never WENT OUT of fashion, and never became UNpopular it can't make a comeback. There wasn't anything to make a comeback from.

Why do you keep spreading that falsehood, even after you've been proven wrong?  In 2008, the 360 added almost 3/4 of a million to the gap.  So no, it wasn't from the get go.  It took 3 years for the PS3 to start outselling it consistantly.  Also, you say the PS3 never went out of fashion or became unpopular, but before admited to it makeing an image comeback.  So, which is it?

As for your response to me, I'll hold you to that thread. 

Man, I wish someone could make a culminative graphic about this...

It's not like the PS3 was unpopular, even though it wasn't the number 1 on everybody's wishing list. If the PS3 was unpopular then so was X360; it's not like it solg much much more than PS3 during this period.
