When you align the PS3 and XBox 360 sales from their respective launches the PS3 is 10 million+ ahead of the XBox 360 at same point in time i.e. 6.5 years. PS3 versus XBox 360 selling head to head since the PS3 launched in late 2006: 77 million PS3 sold in comparison to 71 million XBox 360, PS3 is 6 million ahead.

This is what Ive been saying for years.


Then you'd both be wrong. The PS3 isn't even ahead yet and we have threads about it beating the Wii and being 6 million ahead of the 360... You guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. The ps3 finally passing the 360 is a good feat, why taint it with stupid comments and threads? I could spin it about profits made but am I? Marketshare loss/gain gen on gen? Just celebrate the achievement and don't get ahead of yourselves...

Um.....you're not paying attention. If you put the PS3's sales from its launch against Microsofts respective launch, Sony outsold the 360 by eight million when the gap was at two million. The gap is below 100k which means Sony has outsold them by 9.9 million based on numbers of actual years on the market. The gap closed because Sony had been outselling Microsoft for a while. This is just an easier way of showing how the gap closed. If Sony and Microsoft had launched next to one another Sony would've outsold it by ten million. Next generation, they will launch together, so Microsoft better be ready to see actual sales instead of a years head start.

I am, you're just getting ahead of yourself. I understand where you're coming from but the numbers say that right now the 360 is STILL ahead. The ps3 is not 9 million ahead at all. It's nowhere near it. Xbox 360 and Ps3 have both recently been the best console in terms of sales for any given year. 2011 was 360, 2012 was Ps3 and 2013 isn't even half way through yet but the ps3 again is looking likely. It has sold at a faster rate since launch but it still hasn't outsold the 360.

I know the PS3 isnt 9 million ahead. I am saying year for year the PS3 sold 9.9 million more (as in PS3:2006-2013- 36:2005-2012). This means that the PS3 sold faster in the same amount of time as Microsoft. So in the end next gen when Microsoft faces Sony head to head for the first time. Analysts had predicted the PS3 would outsell the 360 in 2011 since the PS3 outsold the 360s first year even at $20. That means that this time next year the PS3 will probably be at 85-87 million in sales.

I just said that...

$20 What?!?

When the Dark lord stated that the ps3 is 6 million ahead, you agreed. It isn't. This will probably just loop now...

I love the passion on here, some of us still live and breathe the console system sales wars. Bragging rights with your console overtaking a rival console system in sales. My system has outsold your system and is the better console system. The console sales numbers clearly define the winners and loser of a console generation. 1st place is Wii, 2nd place is PS3. 3rd place is XBox 360. It has been a long biiter fight between the PS3 and XBox 360 fighting each other trading blow after blow and the PS3 emerged the victor after 6.5 years just before 2013 E3 show.
