Not surprising, people talk a lot about the "horrible start" the PS3 supposedly had, but it was always on pace to outsell the 360 if the gen lasted long enough (which it did).

Compared to its predecessor, it was a horrible start. Outpacing the 360 would have happened long ago, otherwsie. Just so happens that Sony screwed up enough to aid Microsoft's own efforts of keeping ahead.

The point still stands. I'm not talking about the expectations of console warriors on the Internets, just real sales numbers. If the PS3 had a horrible start compared to the PS2, then the Xbox 360 had an even more horrible start compared to the PS2.

And I wonder if Sony "wins" this gen if people will be saying it was because of what Sony did or if it will be the result of "MS screw ups".
