OK so you really love your PS3 and thats fair enough. 

Let me start by saying that i have all 3. 

Wii= fun from time to time
PS3 =Blu Ray and Must have games GOW,DUC 1/2
360 = Every day 

Now a fan boy is someone who will refuse to buy/support the rival company. i am not a fan boy!

Sony fan boy&#039;s have been saying in forums all over the web for 4 years now &quot;its only a matter of time&quot; Time? Time? Lol. Who the hell has time. 
Let me ask you this my freind. if this is a socalled war (which is stupid) then who set the duration. If it was over last year of today even. WHo would have won? my point is How long does sony fan boys want??? 

Ok look at it this way. if you said to a Sony CEO 6 years ago that MS will be relesing a console to compete with you and they would be ahead of you in hardware and software sales for this new super console for over 5 years, would thay have not seen this as a failure?? hmmm.

 Sony has always been trailing behind the 360 and it been 4/5 years. Now how did that happen?

I love Games. I dont care who from. my 360 gives me the best experince and I love xbox live. How long did it take before the ps3 riped off the acheivements system and they still havent got the cross game comm right. I mean come on. And Oh you talk about the RROD. yeah ive had it . I dont even care. whats bad is that I was so pissed only becase i had to resort to playing my ps3 untill it got back from repair. 

Please please try the 360 i promise you&#039;ll like it over the ps3. 

I hate when ever i play a ps3 game i have to do updates which take forever. on the 360 you hardly ever have to do this. and when you do it take seconds.</description>

But people still have the consoles to watch Blu-Ray movies or to play games  ? So why subtract millions.? If you look at failure rates 360 was at one time over 50%, while PS3 was only 10%. 

So if you really want to subtract numbers, take 50% off the 360 shipped figures, which leaves = 20 million, now take 10% off the PS3 sold figures which would then leaves over = 32 million.

Even if you had half of the 50% failure rates of the 360 repaired you will still only have 30 million in total.

But we all know figures don&#039;t mean quality and fact is that PS3 has the better quality out the two consoles.

I myself have bought Two 360&#039;s in 4 years, but had to send them off  7 times in total to be repaired. RROD = 5 times E-74 Error = 1 time, Disc Drive Failure = 1 time. ( One console didn&#039;t get repaired as the Disc Drive Failure wasn&#039;t covered under the 3 year ex-warranty, I have Two PS3&#039;s 1st edition and a 250 PS3 Slim model. Not once have i had any problems with them.</description>

And subtract the milions of PS3 consoles that were purchased only to watch Blu-ray movies with.

Probably dead even, both consoles, at this point.</description>

		<description>Dr. Moogle - If Sony reaches their 15 million target and the X360 stays static, the PS3 will outsell by 2011 yes. I have doubts that the 360 will remain static however.</description>

		<description>At E3 in May 2006, Bill Gates announced that Microsoft would have a head start of 10 million units by the time Sony and Nintendo entered the market. Microsoft later specified that goal and estimated shipments of 10 million units by the end of 2006. 

The Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005, in the United States and Canada; December 2, 2005, in Europe.

The PlayStation 3 was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan,November 17, 2006 in North America and South America,and March 23, 2007 in Europe.

So the 360 had a 10 million head start over PS3, yet now theres only 4 million difference in console sales. Which shows that PS3 has out sold the 360 ( in the same time span ). 

360 = 40 million (as of April 23, 2010)
PS3 = 35.7 million (as of March 31, 2010)

Now take away the banned 360 consoles ( over 1 million banned and not able to go online ) that people traded in to shops so that they could buy new consoles to be able to play online again. Also take away the 360&#039;s that RROD&#039;ed on people BEFORE MS gave a 3 year warranty, which was also over 1 million in it&#039;s 1st year of release. Plus take in consideration  people that had the RROD after the 3 year warranty run out that had to re-buy a 360 console. Or the people that had a faulty Disc Drive that wasn&#039;t given an extended warranty making them re-buy another console.Or better still the people that had their console repaired by MS due to RROD, and knowing that it will RROD again so they started trading them consoles in for a newer one.

I still say that more people own a PS3 in their home right now than the 360.</description>
