As my homey Loose was saying, back when it was alleged that the ps3 finally passed Xbox 360 in worldwide sales.
And ppl, mostly 3cepts walk around with there chest pumped out feeling all special like if there piece of shyt system is gaining traction somehow.
As you may or may not know, sony doesn't even report numbers in Europe.
Yet common fanboy fodder is that PS3 is winning in Europe.. no numbers to back, just that it is
But for sony to have the lead, they would of had to have sold 7.7million ps3's during Nov/Dec of 2012 to reach that number.
They would of had to have had the best two month span in console history
But the truth is only the xbox has sold more units each year its been in existence. that was 6 in a row, and that will be 7 this year
But enough about the obvious, lets see some proof Cockmeat. I need a reason to say I didn't read it afterall
Well here ya go...

Thats sony's financial report and in it has all the juicy details of whats really good.
Did you know that sony combines PS2 & PS3 systems sold in there totals?
And they combine PSP & Vita sales as one for there handhelds to inflate not only systems "shipped" but as you very well know, shipped is viewed as sold to the average fanboy.
The real ps3 numbers shipped is supposedly closer to 63mil
And numbers sold is much less than that.
But all that is another can of worms. To break this down to short bus terms.
These reports say that the ps3 sold 15.5 million units this year to reach 77million
Once they reached 77 million (how many years have they been including ps2 units
)
Once they reached 77million, this was put out there..

Now whats funny about this is why they chose that number. Well, if they fake boast about that number, eventually it would be harder to find these types of links if enough fanboys yell "we
#1 "
You know, links like these...

(Sad thing is some of you think I'm joking

And the end of the day, its all about profitability. Even sony would agree with that
