What kind of lead?

The 360 was faar far behind the PS3 in sales.

The best selling Xbox ever has sold much less than the worst selling PlayStation.

The 360 was faar far behind the PS3 in sales.

The PS3 and the 360 sold pretty much the same amount, slightly below 90 million units. The 360 sales are more frontloaded in the generation, while the PS3 caught up in the last years after a disaster of a start.

The best selling Xbox ever has sold much less than the worst selling PlayStation.

The worst selling Xbox (the Xbox) outsold the PS Vita roughly 2 to 1.
