It would be easier if Sony and Microsoft told us the exact numbers PS3 and 360 sold like they did all throughout the 7th gen.
The fact that they are basically tied is proof PS3 won in the end though. It caught up dramatically despite launching a year later with a higher price point. Props to 360 for giving the Playstation brand a run for its money.

I guess that's true, as long as winning is given a different definition than any in a dictionary.
Basically tied despite:
Playstation entering the generation with a massive lead in mindshare, fully expected to destroy the competion and sell 120M+.
The 360 selling 49 million more units of software.
The 360 selling more pereipherals.
The 360 having a vastly more popular/profitable online service.
The 360 ending over $1 Billion ahead of the PS3 in profitability.

Wow I didn't know the bolded were true. The first one is mighty impressive when you consider how popular the "lots of 360 sales were RROD replacements" bullsh is around here. I think it was even mentioned a few times in this thread or the one that inspired this thread.

Is it really that unbelievable? The PS3 lost more than $200 per unit sold initially. On the flip side, the 360 was made cheap. Why do you think it broke so often? And you act as if RROD was the only massive hardware problem the 360 had:
