The PS3 has always outsold the X1 by a fairly large margin, its not rocket sience, 1 year less in the market and the same total sales, PS3 has always sold faster. I dont know why ppl look at total sales of consoles that didnt launch at the same year. Its lthe same deal with the WiiU and the ONe, saying the WiiU is ahead is not right the XOne sells a lot faster than the WiiU ever did, launches need ot be aligned.

Except that is making an unfair industry fair, which alters reality. This is an industry where head starts count and aligned launches are only done by the losing fan faction to save face. WiiU got a head start and reaped that year of sales benefits. Now X1 has its work cut out for it to take 2nd. There is no compensation system in the industry. You have to make your own way, there is no unified start date.

It only counts if the 360 stays in the market for 1 year more than the PS3 otherwise it doesnt. Again not rocket sience 1 year less to sell the same amount = better sales.

No one uses this sort of calculating. Even SONY doesn't publish statements proclaiming beating the 360 if launches are aligned. Apple doesn't do it. SONY and MS deal with actual numbers not hypothetical fake comparisons. If you can find a statement with SONY talking about your argument I will agree.
Do you see Apple doing this when discussing IPHONE sales or Samsung with Galaxys sales?
Plus launching a year later allowed Sony to include a more powerful system with a Bluray drive , WIFI, free PSN to counter XBL etc..
You can't deal with hypotheticals cause it doesn't exist in a bubble.

I believe that the Blu ray drive and wi-fi were already a given. It takes time to make things more robust. Free PSN was definitely there to counter XBL. Let's not forget the trophies after Xbox had achievements.
