At first I thought it was because of Kinect but that was in 2010, what did the 360 have in 2011 to pull ahead of the PS3?

Edit: I checked and 360 actually won 2012 too. Guess I forgot how close the race between the PS3 and 360 was.

People forget the PS3's 2 biggest years were 2010 and 2011. That's equivalent to PS4's 2017 and 2018. So those saying PS4 is selling well for a 4.5 year old console forget that it's actually in it's prime years. I realise not every console cycle is the same, but so far the trend for PS4 has very much mirrored the PS3 in the latter years, except on a much bigger scale of course.

The main difference being that the PS3 needed a hefty price cut to have its best years, correct? It's not that the PS4 selling well for a 4-5 year old console is surprising, it's the fact that it's selling well while still $299.99 whereas it's main competition has frequent price-cuts of $70-100 lower and yet it can still sell as well as it has.
