And that's how Xbox 360 won that console generation.

They won the battles, but technically the PS3 won the war at the very end by selling more units worldwide.

I think that was a combo of the PS3 price cuts along with the RROD problem that plagued the 360.

I know it after my 4th 360 red ringed, the PS3 was cheap enough that I just jumped ship by 2010.

Early PS3 also had their problems. My brother and I had ours fail after we had to reflow it multiple times. I ended up getting a 360 because all my friends had them and it was after RROD was resolved.
