In concrete figures, units sold to retail worldwide (no estimates):

360's Lead (in millions)
Sep-05 0.00
Dec-05 1.50 (360's one year or more headstart in North America, Europe and Japan)
Mar-06 3.20
Jun-06 5.00
Sep-06 6.00
Dec-06 8.72 (the biggest gap in sales)
Mar-07 7.29 (PS3 launch in PAL regions)
Jun-07 7.28
Sep-07 7.77
Dec-07 7.17
Mar-08 6.15
Jun-08 5.89 (the lowest recorded gap since the PS3's launch)

* For the period June 2008 to September 2008, it seems the gap has become smaller yet again. The PS3 is still set to launch officially in some regions including South America.

A graph taking into account entry pricing developments, important exclusives (like Halo 3 and MGS 4) and regions launches would be interesting.

Sorry, where are these figures from?  Im using VGChartz data only....    Also quoting selective months doesnt illustrate trends like a line graph can (and even this isnt perfect for trends).

 

Company financial reports. Units sold to retail.

 

 

honestly those sold to retail make things look worse, when compared to sold to consumer... which is what matters with consumers buying games and all, with games that dont sell being written down as lose
