Sony kicked 'yo ass foo!

PS3 sales have been better overall then 360 sales, if you match up their release dates the PS3 is beating 360 in units moved.

About the coding issue.

The reason the PS3 is hard to code for is not because the architecture sucks, it's actually brilliant and powerful- but it's very new. They use Cell computing which requires multithread coding and an entirely new way of thinking; the PS3 really is next generation unlike the Xbox 360 which is just a gussied up PC.

That's why Valve likes coding for the Xbox360, because they simply write the code for the PC version and then port it over to the Xbox360 which is cake. They won't simply admit that it requires talent and effort to code for the PS3, as well as money, so they say it's stupid to code for the PS3.

This is also why multiplatform games look better on the Xbox360- sometimes. Because most of the time the game is coded specifically for the Xbox360 and then they use a developers kit from Sony to help port it over. Though as time goes on this is going to get better and better on the PS3 as they update the the kit.

Even better is that the PS3 hasn't even reached full power yet, while the 360 is basically pushing the very limit of it's hardware the PS3 has shit tons of room left which is going to become more apparent over the years.

doesn't matter if ps3 is selling on par with 360, because there are more total 360's out in circulation. since the $$$ comes from game sales the one with the most consoles wins the race. that's what made the ps2 the big winner last generation, even though the original xbox was the generation's powerhouse, which is why MS pushed hard to be first this time.

also, in a few more years it'll be time for the next console to hit the market and the ps3 will be old hat (360 hit markets early in 2005 and console generations don't even last a decade). in alaskan dog sled races, the guy in front would cut the path which would allow all the following racers to have an easier time, then when the leader slowed down from exhaustion the others would pass him by. this principle applies to competitive business markets as well. sony really hurt themselves by pushing cutting edge technology in an industry where high expense is not treated very well by consumers, especially since they reached the market last, and if you guys don't get that then wuteva. if not for the rabid xenophobia of japan, the ps3 would be on its last leg right now.
