That bolded comment is very misleading. Microsoft sold more Xbox 360's to consumers at retail last year than Sony did PS3's. Sony had a marginally higher shipment rate because Microsoft stuffed the supply chain in late 2006 and didn't have to refill shipments till a third of the way through the year in any major way.
Actually that's the most objective observation, Sony sold more than 1 and a half million PS3s more than Microsoft sold 360s. As you know worldwide retailer sales are hard to track, so it's hard to come to any worldwide conclusions.
Taking into account that figure, you cannot come to the conclusion the 360 sold more at retail worldwide than the PS3. However you probably agree the 360 did not crush the PS3 in sales with the release of Halo 3 like many fanboys predicted.
