So PS3 only "officially" over took X360 on 31 May 2014

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

So you have no facts to back this outlandish statement? Here is a fact,  MS doesn't count RROD units.

How? How is this a fact? they offered a warrenty of 3 years on all original models of the Xbox that was in 2006, once 2009 had passed all original models which eventually passed away to RRoD could either be sent back to be repaired which cost 150euros + postage here in Ireland or you could buy a newer Xbox slim which cost around 250euros here.

Here is the thing, How is the second sale not counted by Microsoft as a sold unit? Do you think that every Xbox360 sold since 2009 came with a form which you needed to fill out stating that you had already bought a system and this was going to be a replacement for faulty hardware so they could keep track of which consoles would count as sales?
