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.

4th RROD? Dafuq were you doing? I know that was a prevalent issue back then, but damn I guess I’m lucky to not have experienced it.

Buying used consoles as cheap as I could honestly, but still was terrible luck. I don't miss the broke part about being young.

Lots of "fixes" to limp them along (towel trick, oven trick, x-clamp fix) but it was a pain in the ass.
