Congrats to MS for having their best year ever with the 360. Good to see them come out on top for at least one year and put to rest all the doubts people had when they first announced they'd be No. 1 WW for the year so many months ago. (oh wait people are still doubting them, figures...)

Not surprised at all. This site is majority PS/Sony fanboys so the owners/employees have to cater to their audienc

That's because there is a shipped v sold discrepancy at the moment: i.e. they are #1 in sell in, but #2 in sell through. If MS ships much fewer 360s in Q1 2012 then MS's #1 selling console in 2011 achievment will smell a bit of manipulation, because what they sold in won't be a true reflection of actual consumer demand in 2011. And in the end it's relative consumer demand for a product that is the measure of who is #1 in a year, at least as far as this site's sales numbers are concerned.
So the "score" can't really be settled, until we see March shipments: If 360's March Q shipment report = approximately normal March Q => MS's #1 in 2011 achievement has no whiff of manipulation. 360's March Q shipment report is significantly < normal for a March Q => MS's #1 in 2011 achievement is somewhat tainted by manipulation. It will always be true that their sell in number is #1 for 2011. But it's significance / importance in the console war (i.e. the war between the companies, not the fanbois) is currently up in the air.

you should start one, I bet it would be an interesting thread
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Really? Can you prove that? Link?
In other news, can someone restate how many country's Sony ships the PS3 to and how many that MS ships the 360 to? I can't remember those figures, but I do recall looking at it and realizing that these comparisons are anything but apples to apples and the numbers can be bent to just about whatever you want them to mean ...
Maybe MS will delay the 720 after all. The 360's sales curve is completely contrary to the norm for a video game console.

I honestly have thought of it several times. Spending hours and days going back and collecting links to the extreme cases of hypocritical console biases and using them as exhibits in a thread expose the likes that this site has never seen. But ... then I stop and realize that it would not be the wisest use of my time and ultimately would likely not accomplish anything of substance.
Those ones know who they are and what they are. My interpretively rhetorical question is a mirror for them regardless.
