So 360 has 7 million more and was released a year earlier when it was the only next gen console out? No wonder it sold more than the PS3. I just hate the Xbox so much because I am sick of "mainstream" gamers saying that it is SO godly, when it only has maybe two good games.
Sorry, I'm in a hate Microsoft mood right now :\

Basically, your opening post blows. As PTizzle said: "When the PSOne came out did you say "I WON'T BUY THIS BECAUSE THEY MAKE TVS AND WALKMANS NOT GAMES GOSH!". Or even, if you were old enough, when the NES came out did you say "A TRADING CARD COMPANY MAKING GAMES? PFFT FUCK THIS!"."
Companies change, because they are businesses. Nintendo changed their name to Nintendo from Marafuku, and changed from a card company (they still make cards in japan iirc) to a video game company. Sony is now a video game company as well as a TV company. Microsoft is now a video game company (well, they always have been, since Microsoft Games for the Windows 95.) besides an OS and Microsoft utilities and programs company.
Plus I believe you said that you're a purist and believe Microsoft should just stick to computers and leave games to Sony and Nintendo...
That means you shouldn't of bought a PS3 since Sony should just stick to TVs. They should just leave games to Nintendo...who you shouldn't buy from either because they make cards, so they should just leave games to....Atari, I guess.
People bought the 360 for other reasons besides it was the first nex-gen console.
The console war is stupid, and fanboys are stupid. The game industry is in a currently
very unhealthy state and you have a bunch of children arguing over which console their mommy gave them is the best. It's sickening, and pretty much anyone who is a stupid fanboy and goes "i am SO HARDKORE" or "I AM MAINSTREAM" on any side is an idiot. Someone who plays games because they love games wouldn't care what console it is, or who is making it. The 360/PS3/Wii all have their pros/cons, and to say otherwise is ignorance. Support the industry, not a stupid company.
edit: wow i totally just sounded like GMJ...
EDIT:
I'm just gonna quote Yahtzee, because this is so true:
"I never really understand the crusader like fervor that consoles attract. Most people would say its because your mom is only prepared to buy you one console and if it turns out you didn't pick the winner, the best thing to do is to go into denial until the very fabric of reality changes because goddamnit that's more likely than you admitting faults. Speaking as a person who is white enough to afford all the consoles, this is the most balanced generation of all time, with it all coming down to what you personally want from a console. The Wii is an excitable little yappy bastard, good with children but a little exhausting. The PS3 is a big dependable black monster, slow but lovingly bring your slippers in the morning, and the 360 is a just all rounder that only occasionally pisses itself and dies."

lmao just saw the trailer
I think this sums up my opinion on it:
