1 year head start, 16 months in europe, makes these types of comparisons kind of pointless.

Really? Cause when I do the math and ajust for the slight longer amount of time Xbox 360 has been on the market, it still crushes the others easily.


Doesnt work that way, if PS3 launched it would also have cut into some of those sales and things would have been very different, it's a valid point, that makes these types of comparisons flawed.

Sony decided to launch a year later than the competition and had consequences and benefits from it. Software sales should be interesting this year though. Sony actually sold more software in 2013 thanks to a bunch of big exclusives, but so far Microsoft has more major titles announced for the 360 this year. There is no way Microsoft is losing in 2mil+ sellers, but the 1mil+ sellers will be very close when all is said and done.

And the only flawed comparisions are the hypothetical ones people make assuming same time launches. If the ps3 launched a year earlier or the 360 launched a year later the two consoles would be completely different from what they are today so there is no point trying to predict what would have been when it didn't happen.
