Partly because a lot of the "PS3 is outselling the 360" info was based on speculative data from a source that had previously suggested that the PS3 would be the greatest-selling console of all time forever, and the Wii would sell literally nothing.
Also because the Xbox One has redeemed itself in the eyes of a lot of people, and the PS3 never really managed to improve in any sort of massive, perceptible way. The Xbox is like megaton after megaton in a lot of ways. PS3 never had that.
How is that a valid excuse? Then they should have looked at the real data, hell people on forums did and we have less resources than they do, which was saying the same, we knew for quite some time that PS3 was outselling the 360 worldwide every year but the media certainly never brought attention to it until the 360 began to faulter in the second half of the generation.
That's because the main thing people complained about from day 1 with the PS3 was price. The only megaton they could have done was somehow cut the price 50% before launch despite the fact that at $600 they were already losing like 200-300 per system.
I thought the Xbox 360 was the one outselling the PS3 every month...
Only in the US and the UK. Overall worldwide this wasn't the case over the course of the generation.
It was. There was a point in... I wanna say 2011 or 2012 where a website that always predicted the PS3 would be the best-selling console ever (outselling the PS2!) erroneously reported that info, and PS3 fans clung to it like bloodborne fans to the idea that The Witcher 3 doesn't deserve any acclaim.
That's not true. It was only outselling the PS3 reliably in the US and UK.
LOL at that last bit. Plenty of users on both consoles recognize how great Witcher 3 was.
