If the PlayStation 3 was more advanced, then why was the Xbox 360 outselling it?

The PlayStation 3 was a machine that had everything. When it first came out in 2006, it natively played three generations of games, had a Blu-ray player in the format's first year, a Super Audio CD player, wireless networking, HDMI, free online gaming, and even card slots to view your camera pictures. The Xbox 360, on the other hand, didn't have any of that stuff. It was limited to DVD meaning while a PS3 game could be up to 50 GB, an Xbox 360 game could only be up to 8.5 GB. It also could only play less than a quarter of the games from the previous generation, and it wasn't exactly the most reliable machine. And yet, it was significantly outselling the PS3. How could this have been? The PS3 would catch up to the Xbox 360 but it was only after Sony decided to strip the PS3 of some of the features that made it so great.
