Meanwhile everyone else fights around them for a different set of "gamer" customers, and the title goes back and forth.

PS3 and Xbox 360 were essentially a tie, but sony has maintained a pretty healthy lead for the other PlayStation generations.

PS3 was not a tie. I love Sony, and I've had all of their consoles (I had an original Xbox but stopped there). The 360 won that generation easily.

IIRC the 360 started strong but the PS3 did better in the second half of that gen.

The numbers we have are:

PS3 – 87.4 million
Xbox 360 – ≥84 million

To my mind that's a wash.

When you consider how these brands performed in the previous gen (>160m vs 24m) and following gen (117m vs ~58m), the 360/PS3 race was remarkably close.

A lot closer than I thought it would be. I'm gonna tell myself that all of the later sales were just for the blu ray player. To save my pride. I just remember PS3 online services sucked hard, and support from 3rd party devs was lacking in some cases as well. Black Ops ran so bad, and had so many hackers, on the PS3 that I have never bought another CoD game.
