The 360 was winning... until the 2nd half of its lifecycle. MS had the perfect chance to close it out and they failed. In the end, the PS3 won for me, not just in userbase, but also in games. What the PS3 offered was a lot more diverse and high quality.
While MS did take a lot of marketshare last gen, they failed to build on top of that success. I can't really call that a win. This is especially true when MS rolled over some of their 2nd half strategy to the X1 (e.g. emphasis on the Kinect, less emphasis on games, etc.). It ultimately did not sit well with the consumers...
