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

When PS3 launched it didn’t really have a groundbreaking title. Like Xbox 360 had Call Of Duty 2 which became practically the if you had a Xbox 360 at launch, you most likely had that game.

But isn't 50 GB better than 8.5 GB? Xbox 360 games often had to be split across more than one disc but not a single PS3 game ever had to be on more than one disc. And while the PS3 had a Blu-ray player built in, the Xbox 360 could play the competing HD DVD, except you had to buy an external drive, and Blu-ray won anyway. Therefore, no games were shipped on HD DVDs (30 GB). Also, the Xbox 360 was infamously unreliable, with a large percentage of consoles suffering internal hardware problems causing them to throw a core digital error indicated by three red lights around the power button.
