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.

I have both consoles and there great. Both have advantages like Xbox has great community and more secure network where as ps3 has bluray. Many people say that ps3 break faster or Xbox break faster but it depends on the model you get. Phat ps3s break faster than slim and phat xboxs break faster than slim. Both have have good exclusives Xbox has halo rated 2nd best game of all time. Ps3 has Uncharted rated best game of all time. So if your looking for reliable console and your not serious gamer get a ps3 cause it has lots of advantages such a better quality picture and blueray. But if your a gamer who plays daily or regularly get Xbox more secure and better community. **** PC

I take these articles with a pinch of salt, PS3 isn't any more reliable, that's just fanboy talk. PS3 has YLOD.
