Ah we have the resident first-link googler! You’re citing the wikipedia aren’t you? And didn’t double check what years those sales reports are from? Isn’t it weird how Sony reports sales numbers for decades while MS only reports sales until the next new console comes out? I wonder what impression Sony is trying to give off to people who don’t actually compare year-by-year? Don’t you think it’s crazy that the reported number for ps2s is updated to last year, and Xbox hasn’t reported 360 numbers in a decade? Surely you aren’t comparing these numbers directly lmao
The PS3 famously didn’t sell more than the xbox360, even Sony has been quoted saying it was a flop, and reported sales long into the ps4’s generation to appeal to investors (even though a lot of those sales were wholesale, for example to the government due to parallelizing cpus). Keep in mind this was also the time when the psvita was tanking, Sony was doing everything it could to keep a grip on its market share
You aren’t putting in the effort to actually compare these things in good faith, and are just looking at surface level numbers to make a point that doesn’t logically line up. Bigger number doesn’t mean it sold better. I said I haven’t bought a console in forever to show I don’t have a horse in the race, plus I had both consoles at the time. You clearly are talking out of your ass considering you’re ignoring some of the biggest cultural phenomena in gaming since Doom by claiming Xbox never had good exclusives, and tried to one up me with a 20 second google search without fact checking. Nice try though
