In reply to joemoe. It's true that the PS3 hasn't exactly been the failure that most analysts predicted it to be. However, there can be no denying that Sony's fall from total domination last gen to a distant third place this gen has been a steep and dramatic one.

In my region Xbox 360 was on the market a full year and 4 months before Ps3 was released. The PS3 sales are very impressive in comparison.

Why didn’t you report this more accurately? 🙁 Microsoft clearly states their 360 sales are at 41.7 million units, not 42 million. If you are going to round UP, so to speak, why not round the PS3’s 35.7 million to 36 Million? What’s up with that? Finally, The PS3’s sales aren’t “as of now”, they are as of March 31st, 2010. So, we are comparing sales from March 31st for PS3 to just released sales numbers for 360. The statement above, “As of now, the PlayStation 3, which is in direct competition with the Xbox 360…” it’s not as of now, it’s as of March 2010. All I’m saying is accuracy. Most people don’t even care about Console sales, but the ones that actually do, want accuracy. There is NO DOUBT in my mind the 360 has more sales than the PS3, but let’s report it accurately. This isn’t about fanboyism, it’s just about the need to be accurate.
