It's really surprising considering how much the PS2 outsold the Xbox by. The fact that sales of the 360 and PS3 are so close and people think it's an amazing victory for Sony shows just how far expectations for the Playstation brand have fallen since the PS2.

There was a time when if you told someone that an Xbox brand console would keep up with a Playstation brand one for even a year people would have had good laughs over it. I guess those days are over.

Nothing I hate more than people that remind you of this after they hear about the PS3 doing well. I understand that expectations were high after the PS2, but it's a new generation. Not many people expected the Wii to sell like space heaters in Antarctica, but that doesn't mean everytime we look at it's sales we should comment on the surprise. It's just an attempt to marganalize the accomplishments of the PS3.

 Well the PS3 was supposed to be the 800 pound gorilla that was going to come out and smash everything.  The fact that the 360 held its own and sold just as much as the PS3 isn't what I would call a success for the PS3, I would actually consider it a success for the 360.
