It may have had a head start, but their sales have been consistenly equal with the 360 in America the past so many months. Also, the PS3 has been barely beating the 360 in other areas, with the sole exception of Japan. With the way the PS2 demolished the Dreamcast after its full year head start and the way Sony dominated the 5th and 6th generation, the PS3's sales have to be mildy disappointing..at best. And I am not comparing them solely to MS, but also Nintendo.
