It's pretty simple to me.
PS3 - 81 million / Xbox 360 - 80 million.
Both consoles had 90 percent of the same library. Very similar graphic power. Both had some good 1st party software. The same holds true now, so none of those things can be the reason why. It all comes down to Xbox One being perceived as the multi-media box and PS4 being the gaming console. Microsoft decided to push the Kinect on everyone, which does nothing to enhance the actually games. Microsoft's opening press conference mention TV 100+ times, with little mention of games. Microsoft pissed off gamers by trying to ditch used games in favor of the "Future". Sony released a console largely the same as the PS3 with more hardware power. That's all gamers wanted, so the Playstation gamers stayed on board and a ton of the Microsoft gamers jumped ship. It has nothing to do with Nintendo. Nintendo last gen sold 100+ million Wii's but it didn't kill the other two's market. Nintendo just does their own thing now, which is fine if you ask me. When they made the Gamecube they were trying to directly compete with Sony and it failed miserably. Now you could own a PS4 + Wii U and the library's are so different that it actually is worth owning both.
