A cool side note: 360 beat the Wii that gen in the US. Probably Microsoft's only real sales accomplishment worth bragging about. |
Also, a higher software sales total, tie-in ratio, and a killing in online subscriptions and transactions. I honestly wonder how awesome Sega's online would've been if Dreamcast survived through that gen and they had a seventh-generation console.
PS3 won by hardware units sold and it's perfectly rational to argue PS3 had the better library (exclusives and games not on Xbox) but financially Xbox 360 seemed to beat PS3. But Nintendo ate popcorn and laughed, only to fail with Wii U in the next generation.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
