Originally, people bought it as was cheaper and had a decent set of games. Now, it probably sells for the same reason. Most of my friends ended up buying the same console, just so they could play together. Many of whom got Xbox 360. I choose not to because it didn't have the exclusives i wanted and i didn't want to be forced to pay to play online (something i rarely use anyway). Also, RROD was a huge problem which swayed over to paying extra for the PS3 (i bought a PS3 slim in late 2009, Xbox 360 slim didn't exist yet), what i didn't know back then was that i liked the PS3 exclusives far better than the Xbox 360's, i just knew PS3 had more variety. I didn't even realise that Uncharted was such a great series before i got PS3. Even now, i don't regret missing out on Xbox 360 because of all the great games on PS3. 

Yep!  There were so many 1st party franchises I loved from Killzone, Resistance, MAG, LBP, Demon's Souls, MGS4, Uncharted, Warhawk, InFamous, and Heavy Rain that I practically had no time for any third party games.  Battlefield and Read Dead Redemption were about it!  Just now I am making up for that with steam sales!

So to say what Lt. Dan said, with the The Last Of Us, God Of War, and Beyond Two Souls coming out this year the trend has not stopped on PS3 in 2013.  On 360 there is another gears of war game (The fourth this gen!), and that's about it while next gen is right around the corner.

 

Why would anyone choose a 360 now?  It is something I cannot rationally answer myself...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
