Well I'd hope they'd do well in the US, not like they give a shit about the rest of the world.

YAY MURICA!

Yet they've outsold PS3 WORLD WIDE.

 

You know, in the whole world.

 

Despite PS3 having a 10 million advantage in Japan.

Except no.  PS3 has outsold the 360, and did it with  one less year on the market.  

Well it's a matter of debate but I go by when the respective companies themselves announced 80m.

 

Just the fact Sony combined PS2/PS3 shipments for a year confused things and people took that as opportuinity to state PS3 was ahead with no proof.

 

Ok, even IF we accept PS3 is ahead (I definitely dont) It's like 81m vs 80m either way. BIG DEAL ITS A TIE.

PS3 did it with one less year at market and an absolutely abysmal launch...and first three years. the fact that they managed to scrape and claw their way out of third place speaks volumes about their continued dedication to their fanbase.  And we all know PS3 will continue to sell for another couple years, since Sony is known for keeping their old consoles alive well into the next generation.  

I'm sure both PS4 and Xbox One will do fine, but PS3 was very impressive in its defeat of the 360.  Won by a hair, sure, but still won.
