Never before has the sales of second and third place been so high, and so close, either.
Also, agreed, the spin in this thread is mezmersing.
For 6 whole years 'behind in global sales' was the argument, now that's not the case, 'behind in profits, so they didnt really win second' becomes the argument - I'm sorry but sony could have gone out of business entirely, it still wouldn't change the simple truth that in sales, the PS3 has passed the X360, you can spin it however you want, but it's simple fact that not only has the PS3 outsold the X360, it's done so with a 1-1.5 year handicap, and regardless of how sony has fared as a result of poor financial and economical choices, for that achievment it has to be commended.
On an off topic note, were I an xbox fan, I'd be a little worried going forward in to next gen, as the timing of this overtake coupled with the mostly negative news over the Xbone's reveal spells trouble for the xbones launch, in a market where industry and public attitude towards the PlayStation band is rapidly gaining traction, I've no doubt the Xbone will sell well in the US and maybe well or at least decently in UK, but those of you hoping or expecting the Xbone to storm out of the gate and leave the PS4 for dust, are in for several years of making excuses.
