Different gens, different world, different consoles.

The shipments show us how this is panning out.  The PS3 and 360 are dying rapidly (aligned the PS3 is dying quicker).  Emerging markets want the ONE and PS4 now, they arent the second class economies they once where.  They will ship very low numbers this FY, almost nothing next FY and then be discontinued.

Which is very obvious from the fact that it's outselling X360 almost 2:1 on weekly basis globally. And by the fact tthat there are still games coming out for PS3 exclusively, announced even well in to 2015, while it's been over a year that X360 had any exclusive games, and is sentenced to piggybacking off it's younger brother (Titanfall, PvZ...)

Of course that you would argue otherwise, because of your fanboy sunglasses being so tinted you fail to see anything besides color green.

PS3 still has 3-5 years of sales ahead of it, and it will probably reach 90M before it's finally phased out.

Mistake Number 1:  Using VGC sales to compare PS3 and 360

Right.

Mistake Number 2: Not looking at actual Shipment data. VERY illuminating if you can be arsed doing some research.

Right. Sony shipped 14.6 million home consoles this fiscal year and sold "over" 7 million PS4 ( http://www.joystiq.com/2014/05/14/sony-forecasts-fifth-annual-loss-in-six-years/ ), so no less than 6 million PS3, more probably about 7 million. They forecast 17 million shipped home consoles for the next fiscal year, so, probably, about 5 million PS3, given their PS4 production capacity. 360 shipments (millions) in the same time frame: 1.0 (Ap-Jn 2013), 1.2 (Jl-Sp 2013), 1.72 (Oc-Dc 2013), 0.8 (Q1 2014, less than a million) Total: 4.72, that's probably a couple million less than the PS3.
