I applaud the original posters ingenuity. Well done indeed. Honestly I do not think we need a years worth of numbers. Which might average everything out, and actually obscure the trend. While it might be interesting to know when this trend began. The most important thing to note is that this is the trend right now.

This seems quite intuitive. In fact it seems obvious. Microsoft has to be making up more ground on Nintendo then on Sony. Their sales are up year over year. While Nintendo has had a steeper drop then Sony. Then incidentally or not we really need to think the war as between the top two rather then the bottom two. Especially if the effect is corresponding this well. It really doesn't matter if the battle is a foregone conclusion for a protracted period. The question is where the battle is today. Not necessarily where it has been for years.

Maybe we need to be talking Nintendo/Microsoft. The reality is that Sony hasn't put up much of a fight over the last nine months. At the very least Nintendo and Microsoft are more or less total opposites. The PS3 is more or less a expensive 360 clone at this point.
