He is a great example of people who uses facts in his own way. Using stats of only the consoles that sold worse!
No, I simply view the XBox 360 as the PS3's main competitor for the long run. For example I don't view the Nintendo DS as a direct competitor, people might just as well want to own both, if someone cannot afford a PS3 they may be able to afford a DS, also the DS is portable so if this is what you want you better not try to carry around a HDTV and PS3 , also the overall gaming experience is very different, mostly 2D RPGs and platformers vs ultra complex games like Motorstorm.
In short I view the XBox 360 as the console which is most like the PS3 and is considered to have performed well, so why not compare how well they were doing during the same timespan?
