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?
1) Dont come up with the DS, was i talking about the DS?! NO!
2) Then why did u pick the numbers for PS2?! Last time i checked PS2 was from a total different generation, that means its not a real competitor too PS3, just like DS isn't!
3) I'm guessing u didn't take Wii sales just to let people think PS3 aint selling bad. But ur walking around the facts.
Sales since launch, first 16 weeks:
PS3 VS DC... DC wins.
PS3 VS NGC... NGC wins.
PS3 VS Xbox... Xbox wins.
PS3 VS wii... Wii wins...
Because X360 was launching all the way back in Nov/Dec 2005 they had less time to produce units then PS3 and Wii... PS3 and X360 were unveiled at E3 2005. X360 launched much earlier so it had less hardware available.
My point is: U are (maybe u aint even noticing) using only numbers that work in ur advantage but it doesn't show the whole picture, sabbie?! Ur numbers aren't incorrect but use all available data if u compare stuff... , 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?
