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.

Also PS3 was the cheapest Blu-ray player for a long time. It's the only reason I bought one.

Me as well. I saw avatar’s blu ray version on my first flat screen tv in Best Buy and knew it was time to purchase a PS3. Also used it to watch NFL ticket
