This 1.1m really exposed Sony. It showed most of the shipments the past year were PS2. To go from 3.4 to 1.1??? It just corroborates what i said all along, PS3 wasn't shipping vastly more compared to past years as some would have us believe in order to overtake 360, when every measure of it's recorded sales (NPD, media create etc) were declining in that time.

The only defense Sony guys could offer was "well PS3 must be taking off in other, emerging markets". Despite that, oddly, these other markets never showed up for PS3 until Sony combined PS2 and PS3 shipments so we didn't have an accurate picture anymore. The more reasonable speculation is the PS3 simply was shipping less than in the past, and therefore is still behind 360.

I bet X360 has shipped and sold more than PS3 worldwide. There's almost no doubt after this new info. Of course, 99% of the people on the internet will fight to the death otherwise. But that doesn't make it not true. It is true. Just like PS4 reserves 3GB RAM for the OS despite people dont want to believe...

Just because the 1.1 mn equation came into picture after removing PS2, you wish to deem the guess work  of the emerging markets is the culprit here.

On what actually do you instantly base your bet that 360 is ahead "worldwide" after this 1.1 mn equation? 99 percent of the people analyze data that is open to them and relate to figures. As of now VGC has PS3 numbers leading 360 and it's a matter of time we get to know which one hits the 80 mn milestone. I guess staying tuned to that solves much of the issues lurking here upon guesswork. 

Spare the PS4 RAM for now.
