It's just fanboy banter. The truth is both are doing quite bad, compared to either the wii or the ps2. Basically, the 360 is surviving off America and the ps3 off Europe.

If you go by NPD numbers (and no offense to VGA charts, but NPD is more accurate), the PS3 outsells the 360 in the US. So if the 360 is surviving in the US, the PS3 is surviving in Europe, and the US.

Both dead in Japan.

Actually the last NPD showed the 360 outselling the PS3 as Microsoft finally started getting their supply issues sorted out...........

"Hardware March 2008
1) Wii - 721,000
2) Nintendo DS - 698,000
3) PSP - 297,000
4) Xbox 360 - 262,000
5) PlayStation 3 257,000
6) PlayStation 2 216,000"

 So MS gets the "supply issues" sorted out, and they outsell the PS3 by an astounding 5k in the US. Yes, I do realize you put "started" in there. MS needs some major games or a price cut soon because the PS3 has GT5P in the US this month, then they both have GTA4, then the PS3 gets MGS4. 3 massive games, and the 360 has only one, which it shares with the PS3. I'd say that the PS3 currently has the upper hand.
