This is a U.S. thread. 360's year head start and then continual monthly beating of PS3 did make it sell a considerable amount more than the PS3 in the U.S. The PS360 generation was Sony's to lose after the PS2, and they lost it in the U.S. due to their higher price and later start mostly. The PS4/XB1 generation was Microsoft's to lose, and they lost it in the U.S. debatably for their pre-launch DRM nonsense, reliance on Kinect, and higher price (with Kinect).
Worldwide's a different story, and if allan-bh is speaking of worldwide, then, yeah, there's some problems there. U.S., it fits the general picture he's giving, though.
