Although I don't consider myself a Sony fanboy, I do consider myself a sony supporter. When these "fanboys" are saying that the PS3 is almost outselling the Xbox360 they technically aren't lieing.
Let's take this for example. For the Week ending of 02 May 2009.
Xbox 360 Hardware Sales: 111,542
Playstation 3 Hardware Sales: 106,089
Now I do agree it's unfair to say that ALL Xbox 360s sold are arcades, but it is likely that most are. So let's do an equation.
Let's say these are all 300 dollars because you do have the Pro and Elite SKUs too.
111,542 x $300 = $33,462,600 for Xbox 360.
It's also unfair to say all Playstation 3's sold are only the $400 consoles because there are the $500 SKUs as well.
106,089 x $450 = $47,740,050 for Playstation 3.
So if all that money was spent on Playstation 3s were used to buy Xbox 360s at the 300 dollar mark then...
$47,740,050 / $300 = 159,133.5 Xbox 360s consoles would be sold.
Xbox may be leading in units, which ultimately is the real factor. More money is being spent by consumers on Playstation 3s. It's pretty amazing considering the $100 increase in price.
Now this is at least how I see it. Now don't mistake this post for me being a Sony fanboy because I do own both consoles and enjoy them both very much. The only console I don't like/enjoy is the Wii.

No you posted logic but the logic doesn't fit that way in this industry. Since you're a newbie and you seem bright I'm sure eventually the longer you stay here on VGC the better your understanding of why it doesn't work that way and why those numbers don't matter. A couple articles on revenue does not equal profit will help you out a bit.
