Squill -
For comparison, though, the Playstation 3 didn't outsell the X360 during Holiday 2007 nearly as well as what the X360 is now, so the margin will be much more disaserous than the PS3/X360 comparison earlier in 08.
Here are the damning numbers:

Last year, the PS3 led by a scant 210,000 units in Nov-Dec, but posted a nice 600,000 lead in Jan-Mar. One should expect the margin to be vastly in favor of the X360 in Jan-Mar 2009. I should raise my predictions to a 100,000 unit lead per week, and over 350,000/mo.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
