I'm pretty sure the current numbers posted are not the ones that are post-adjustments completely...!!The current gap is obviously from an under tracked sales. Ps3's gap to 360 should be around 1.8 to 1.9 or even as less as 1 million. I was also beginning to feel that as per the current userbase numbers, Ps3's sales might have even surpassed on worldwide shipments and sales combined. Don't feel surprised, if VGchartz updates the gap to less than a million around October this year posting correct numbers of consoles sold actually.

Where is your source? See, this is why we can't have nice things

Now if you read carefully, you will come across the statement that ps3 is the most used console and infact the most reliable. Touchwood, my PS3 is still alive and kicking butt.  My statements are based on that article's link above . The trend has been like that for a while. If that keeps up, sales are surely going to go upwards even in Japan. Look at the Japanese figures of 360. It's a joke already.  MS has tarnished their presence there(figures prove). The same thing is to carry over the nextbox, if they do not strategise things well. A free online service and an optional PS plus membership across EU, Japan and US are enough for the console to keep up the current trend. 360 is only limiting it's users with paid membership and with a limited hardware.  LOL at the 99 $ deal. It started with RROD in the first phase and with a mandatory online payment what-so-ever the deal is. A reason why hardcore gamers are moving on to PS3 lately and 360 going down to the broader audience's choice who likes to KINECT. The discussions about online 360 subscribers in US and its cheap comparison to multiple fake PSN accounts have been on the rise. I would say that the numbers are infact steadily increasing and would only continue to double or triple the 360's over due time globally because of that multiple account provision. 360 needs to prove itself or perhaps the MS gimmicks really need to prove/work in its favour not just in US, but across all regions equally. Counting refurbished consoles in the shipments is lame. MS is only focussing on the shipment numbers IMO and holiday season.
