This puts Sony at the top with one of the greatest sales achievements in gaming history, has there been anything greater than this feat in terms of sales? Sure some will argue the PS2, but this could be a right up there with PS2 sales, if not better.

Sony lost 50% of its market share, which now is on xbox
Also is 20 million systems behind outside Japan, which means PS brand is nearly extinct in US and close to extinct outside Japan
Beeing totally destroyed and loosing US completly is not exactly something to cheer about LOL, but feel free to do so if it makes you feel better
That is the worst come back so far. Ps3 is selling more then 360 worldwide and 360 is selling more mainly in North America. 360 is extinct in Japan. With ps3 now ahead of 360 at 70.2 million despite being 8-10 million behind in the start proves that your post is LAUGHABLE. Also take in that when xbox360 first launched 57% of it's units suffered rlod. Over the life cycle that figure dropped (took 6 years to get to an acceptable level). Them MASSIVE hardware failures (worst in consumer electronics history) that would have contributed towards 360 total sales. Then with the 3 year extended warranty came in, more 360 sales had a contribution from failure. (Over 1 billion losses from warranty claims on 360). So just imaging if the 360 didn't rely on failure to carry it's sales? 360 total would be millions less then what it has. But thats not all. Xbl account banning. Yes millions of people got banned from xbl. Yes many were from playing copied games. Many also playing legitimate version of the game but went online before the release date. Plus god knows how many got banned for absolutely no reason at all. Now Microsoft support confirmed that in order for a banned user to get back online, they would need to buy another xbox360. Thus also contributing to the total sales. So if Microsoft wasn't so dodgy, just think how many millions less 360 would be at? Lol. Dam you bots brag about a system sales that are mainly gained from failure. PmslSo, the PS3 caught the 360. Next gen starts (for MS and Sony) within 12-18 months. PS3 has sold about 1/2 the PS2, while the 360 is on track to sell three times as many as the first Xbox. I don't see how this is a huge Sony win.
"Them MASSIVE hardware failures (worst in consumer electronics history) that would have contributed towards 360 total sales." This makes no sense. MS has never said they include replacement or fixed consoles in their sales figures. If your speculation was correct, that would mean that games like Halo 3 and CODwould have 30-40% attachment rates, which is almost impossible.
"Now Microsoft support confirmed that in order for a banned user to get back online, they would need to buy another xbox360." Again, see comment above.
You have no basis in fact for any of your claims.
