Is the PS3 comeback to beat the 360 in sales the greatest in gaming history?

The funniest thing to me is that at no time did anyone stop and look at the road Sony took to get to an arguable second place tie. Back when this generation started the BEST case scenario people thought the Xbox could achieve was selling about the same number of systems as Sony. MS placed Sony in a position of either losing this generation badly, or losing TONS of money to keep up. Sony didn't even put enough pressure on MS to make them lower their prices any significant amount in what 5 years now? Can you imagine how the numbers would look if MS had decided to cut in to their profits on the 360 and aggressively outprice the PS3 the entire gen? MS could have had a true 149 or even 99 dollar 360 YEARS ago and still not have been losing as much money per unit as sony at any given time. Instead MS chose to maintain their profits while still keeping Sony at arms length. MS could have buried Sony long ago if they chose to, but why bother when you're making money and still forcing your competitor to lose money. The only thing Sony did this generation was show that they were willing to bite the bullet and half kill themselves to keep the PS3 viable. Any patting on the back for the PS3 "coming back" is foolish IMO.
