Not really. It doesn't matter that the 360 is only ahead by 15-25k a week or that it's cheaper as
1. its ahead
2. both consoles have sold more than 2nd and 3rd did in their entire lifetime last gen
so they are doing well with regards to sales but the problem is making a profit. The 360 is and continuing to do better YoY with amazing software sales and XBL charges but as you reminded us the PS3 is the most expensive console and still a loss for sony and down YoY with good software sales that could be better.
The reasons you listed as why the PS3 is doing fine and the 360 is in trouble actually work for the 360 and against the PS3.
I'd say the PS3 is in a bit of trouble and 360 is fine.
