Cool story bro, but the reality is

Xbox 360 - 42.0M

PS3 - 36.6M

I also can't believe a few Sony fans agree with this guy. *facepalm*

I used "seems" because of the less than 1% difference between the 2 numbers. In my original post I was rephrasing the OP to something that make sense, but seems like even that would be wrong lol. So the OP really has no point if Microsoft sold more unit since the PS3 release. It means that even if they had release at the same time there would still be more Xbox sold. According to VGchartz numbers, without the extra lap Xbox car would still be in front.

Yup

The alligned launches thing is flawed in so many ways it's not funny.

wow i knew the OP failed, but you just crushed him.

Well. How much is PS1 plus PS2 plus PS3 plus PSP? How much is Xbox plus Xbox360? How much is Nintendo plus Super Nintendo plus Nintendo 64 plus Virtual boy plus  Game boy plus Gameboy color plus Gameboy Advance plus Gamecube plus Wii plus NDS? How much is Sega Mater system plus  Sega Genesis plus Sega Cd plus Sega 32x plus Sega Gamegear plus Sega Saturn plus  Dreamcast?

Whoever sold more consoles combined is the biggest champion of all time. Correct? :D

Bullshit. Actual sales are not hypothetical. Sony chose to release their console a year later than the 360, and that has had benefits and penalties. It was a strategy decision, NOBODY is ignoring it, it's a fact. It's also a fact that the strategy has landed their playstation brand in the shitter compared to last generation, and their console in 3rd place. Stop making excuses for a huge company that made a bad decision, they aren't your friend.

Next gen, they don't start with the brand name superiority crutch. Their brand is arguably in the worst position of the three, and if they launch late, they're screwed. Excuses or not.

Saying that "360 fans" anything is already starting your statement off with a biased tent, and imply that anyone ignores the "headstart" is an insult to everyone on this forum. It wasn't a headstart, it was a business strategy that was deliberably planned by both Microsoft and Sony, and one benefitted and one did not. The playstation brand has suffered as a result, that is inarguable, and we arne't comparing speculative "what if" numbers here, because we have the real numbers, fyi.

Yes, correct, but the PC wins that argument hands down.

Must we consider from your post that USA = World? Sorry, but it appears you are lacking a systemic vision.

Well, PC is multipurpose. Although Xbox360s and PS3s are being used for other purposes, they are still machines specialized on gaming. We can leave PCs out of this context.

hold on lets see can the 360 and ps3 access the internet? yes, can the 360 and ps3 watch netflix online? yes, can you surf the web, watch dvd's, and interact with pc's? yes so now how is the pc really different besides software being different which the other "systems" have the same difference in software?? im just curious on this.. if you go by what you said then you cant compare any of the systems cause they are not the same and isnt used for gaming only. the only system used for gaming only is the gameboy advance back in the day and that was the last system that did that besides the gamecube.
