PlayStation 3 reportedly passes Xbox 360 in worldwide sales
According to a Worldwide Video Game Entertainment Console Hardware and Packaged Software 2012-2016 Forecast from the International Data Corporation, which is said to also include the number from December, that show PlayStation creator Sony has finally passed Microsoft in worldwide sales last month (roughly 77 million to 76 million).
While this report does show Sony taking the lead, it is also clear to point out that these numbers are shipped totals and not actually sold to the consumers. Numerous analysts over the years have predicted that Sony would catch Microsoft, so it looks like they might have been right after all.
The forecast also gives mention to Nintendo's future, stating that the company will continue to find sales for their Wii U and projects that they will ship 50 million consoles by 2016.

CuddleMuffins Really, the only reason they are beating us is because free network, and the Blu-Ray player they have. One of my friends uses it for the Blu-Ray player, and he let's his kids use it for the game. I guess it's a win win in that situation. In my opinion i think Xbox is much better.
I agree with you.
