Given the fact that RE5 sold about 250,000 extra units in Japan on the 1st week, the deck was kind of stacked. However, with Europe being =/=, I would expect the 360 version to eventually beat the PS3 version, thanks to a huge (and most likely to grow) lead in the US.

This reads off like a cop out. The predictions I've been reading on this site seemed fairly sure that the 360 was either going to equal or surpass the ps3 version when US data came in even on week one. I won't be too sure about a significant beating though. When it's not a multiplayer shooter, the ps3 really hold it's own even with a much lower userbase. Just take a look at our last major AAA multiplat---SF4. The ps3 and 360 versions are essentially tied even with the 360 selling approximately double the ps3 version in the US.
When Japan shows a significant interest in a game, the ps3 version suddenly becomes waay more significant even though it's userbase is much lower.
