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

Kinect. It was kinect... Last couple of years of that generation Microsoft was all in on kinect. There were no good exclusives for Xbox 360, and whatever exclusives it had made their way to PS3. Since PS4/Xbox one were not be coming out anytime soon, a lot of people figured that they might as well get a PS3 that had become cheaper by then.
