according to official shipments, PS3 surpassed Xbox 360 back in December 2012. Factor in how padded the 360s numbers are due to multiple purchases via RROD, and the PS3 surpassed it way before that. Not "officially", because only shipments and sold-through numbers matter to investors, but unofficially in the sense that more people own PS3s worldwide than 360s

Point 1: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/10/report-ps3-surpasses-xbox-360s-worldwide-shipped-total

Point 2: that's just what I've heard over the last 9 years, people buying 2, 3, 4, etc Xboxes 360s due to RROD. Don't try and deny it just because you don't like it. I'm sure you've heard people say it. Hell, you may (I say "may" so you don't ignore everything else and jump on that one thing to make it seem like you've invalidated me, if you actually haven't) have purchased more than one

1. Yup, then MS announced 80m before Sony in like October or something.

2. I've heard people say they've had their console red ring. Mine red ringed right before I got a 360 Slim + Kinect for Christmas 2010. But I'm sure there's plenty of people who bought a slim version of any console after having a fat version. I know one person that still has his fat PS3 but still bought a slim for his kids. Hell I'll most likely do that when a new Xbox One comes out too.
