Nintendo cheated out Sony before Sony created the Ps1, that is common knowledge if i am not mistaken.
I also included that Sony wanted to create their own software, it's not that they said: We will destroy you microsoft.
The 360 released a year earlier so implying that the 360 was selling better because it had 10 mill consoles sold headstart would be weird.
We should count the amount of consoles both consoles sold during it's first year. The Ps3 outsold the 360 during it's first launch atleast enough to close a 10 mill gap during 10 years and surpass it. Which means they both was quite solid. The WiiU had 2 years headstart and managed to get crushed by both the Ps4 and the XB1 which should be considered embarressing on nintendo's part.
It seem to me that the Cell processor managed to do a lot more for the Ps3 then what the GPU managed to do for the XB1. Ofc the Devs preferred the XB360 due for the standard coding, which was similare to PC. It's not like they didn't want to utilize the cell but they didn't have the extra time to dedicate purely on the Ps3.. You know? Publishers and shit? Sony didn't exactly make it easier due for their attitude towards lazy developers which was a bad choice for Sony cause efficiency is as important as power which they could have changed the tide with a proper utilized Dev kit.
It's all in the past now. They are both going to use Custom tweaked off the shelves parts from now on... atleast they can't fuck us over with the lack backward compatibility now since the architecture will remain the same lol

Ok, heard it was the other way around - as it was with HD-DVD/Blu-Ray, VHS/Beta, Reviewer Fraud/Consumers but it may have happen that way.
PS3/360 sales, yes OK.
"Cell processor managed to do a lot more for the Ps3 then what the GPU managed to do for the XB1." Um, what? You were making since, then this statement? The Cell was a failure. Futher shown by the fact Sony themselves dropped it. They could hardly even uss it in other things - it was supposed to be a powerful low cost innovation, but didn't really work out. The 360s GPU has set the standard since.
"... atleast they can't fuck us over with the lack backward compatibility now since the architecture will remain the same lol"
I like your optimism, but they still could try to make up new excuses. I could belive we might hear: "The PS5 is so much different that we can't get the PS4 games to work properly." "Xbox Next uses DirectX (13 or 14) and the way it's optimised it doesn't work with Xbox One games."
