Gazz, regarding aligned launches comparisons, try to align launches for each territory instead of total sales, and you'll see that it's not quite that simple. It's more like a coincidence actually.

PS3 has the advantage of selling in all territories, while the 360 doesn't sell in Japan. In the Western world, the PS3 isn't tracking the 360's sales:

 The 'other' one isn't fair, as it tracks the release of the PS3 in some area that isn't Europe/Australia for the first  16 or so weeks.  Thus it isn't a true aligned launch.  The PS3 is selling better (thusfar) from an aligned launch perspective everywhere but the US.
