Hmm, I shall put this claim to the test. Just considering that sentence, it implies worldwide. Considering that it comes right after the sentance talking about US lead, he could mean that.
Assuming that last weeks numbers are indicative of the 'HD battle' (Wii numbers are always weird in Jan, but PS360 should be fine)
Worldwide lead = 7.94 million
Worldwide weekly sales gap if you double the PS3 sales = 0.144507 million
Number of weeks for PS3 to get ahead = 55
Year PS3 would overtake the 360 = 2010
Perhaps not worldwide then
assumption, USA = 0.9*Americas
USA lead = 7.533 million
USA sales gap if you double the PS3 sales =0.083655
Number of weeks for PS3 to get ahead = 90
Year PS3 would overtake the 360 = 2010 (week 41)
Can anyone see what's wrong? Did I mess up my maths? Was my assumption that 1 weeks sales were valid actually not a fair assumption? is Aaron Greenerg wrong/lying?

Your numbers seem correct. He might have been going off of official holiday numbers rather than last weeks vgchartz numbers :). Seeing how Sony was having their ass handed to them during this holidays, this would make sense.
