I only bought my PS3 for its exclusives. Everything else is done on my Xbox 360.

I agree with your closing statement. Probably cause it is a fact. Lol

Seriously though so many other generations have had sorta failing consoles but as of the last 2 generations we have seen strong consoles.

Hopefully Wii U Ps4 and 720 will be just as successful.

I own every major console of this generation (minus the Wii U, I'll get one eventually [maybe]) and I have to admit that my PS3 is the least played of my systems. Hell, I play my Vita more than my PS3. It's a good system, though, and it's good to see it's doing well.

In Perú, I'm the only one of my friends who has a 360. And I still have a PS3.

Wow.  Impressive.  A console has never taken this long to overtake a rival before.  I never expected this would happen.  It was really against the odds, but damn, there it is.  

I would like to see it confirmed by another source or two, but if it is, then that's one prediction I made that was made wrong.  Good job, Sony.

Congrats sony. glad to see they aren't in the 3rd place position any longer

surprising to me that it took this long, considering it was a no brainer choice for me. pay for online play, vs don't pay for online play. LOL WICH 1 2 CHOOZ

Next gen I am only buying one box, Valve's, Microsoft's (if they make gold free), or Sony's (if they can secure their network and keep online free).  Going to wait 2 years into the new cycle to determine who to go with though so the companies better rethink their strategies for my fat dirty overly taxed dollar.  

And meanwhile, on a tropical island far removed from the troubles of petty mortals, Nintendo sits on a vast pile of money, sipping margaritas as money simply rains from the sky. Behind Nintendo sits a golden plaque, casually tossed aside. It reads in large, regal lettering: "97.6 million units sold as of September 2012 - winner of the seventh generation console war"

I've primarily been a 360 gamer this generation. But next gen? Im keeping an open mind - the big three (sony/ninty/ms) have an equal opportunity to impress me & win my hard-earned monies. If they all fail to impress me, well... I'll just play my Snes.

Considering that some games such as the Mass Effect Trilogy have the majority of the DLC in disc with the PS3 version and that both AC3 and Far Cry 3 have exclusive non timed content, no surprise there.

I'm glad. I own all the systems, expect the U, and sony is the hands down winner in my opinion. Free online, best pay service, rechargeable controllers, controllers that work on pc, blu-ray, 3d, reliable hardware.

I have a PS3 and 360, and if Sony fixed the online services and improved their profile system the PS3 would be almost exactly the same as 360. Until then 360 is the superior system.

Playstation forever :)

I play my PS3 more, but I love my X-Box as well. If I ever want to play online again, I'd rather not have to pay an arm and a leg to do it. PS3 is cheaper.

Nice Sony. It's all because of the Blu-ray player built-in. If it didn't have that, Xbox would always be ahead.

But if Sony doesn't make its next-gen console backwards compatible, then all of those numbers may be lost. Especially if Microsoft makes their next console's online free.

Doesn't winning really mean who is profitable?  Sony has been in the red as a company overall for years now.  Having more units out there is hardly winning.  MS has made missteps with Windows and such, but they are still a profitable company.

Especially cause Xbox has the more important public "mind-share".  That can certainly change next-gen.  Nintendo had it in the 80's, Sony with PS2, and now 360 this generation.  But I believe MS will capitalize on this better than the others did in previous years.
