Well I agree a 8 million gap is pretty small for a 1 year and 5 months headstart for PAL regions (a little less for Japan/US and well more for some other regions).
The PS3 sold well more its first year of availability worldwide.
Yes, the PS3 performs well better taking equal timeframes despite higher entry pricing and anticipated PS3 exclusives spanned out over a wider period of time than anticipated 360 exclusives.
The long term outlook is pretty good, locally there are still unsold 360s from the holiday season in stock (=>stickers placed over the 30 euro payback, 119 euro including taxes entry pricing deals).
