Face it, the X360 is not over-tracked and the gap is 8.4 million between the X360 and PS3 and is steadily increasing every week.
The X360 is having incredible momentum so that there's been shortages much like the Wii had last year. Only 300,000 X360 units are availabe in the retail channel. The reason for this demand is a big hype for Natal and excitement among gamers all over the world for upcoming multi-million AAA exclusives such as Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Risen and Crackdown 2.
Yesterday I was at four game and electronics stores in my city and there were no X360's to be found xcept for a couple of Elites (but one of them was already reserved), while there were huge piles of PS3's everywhere.
By end of year the gap will be over 10 million.

Two things.
Firstly, as can be evidenced by the depressing weekly figures for consoles all-round, the 360's momentum has slowed down as of late.
Secondly, the reason for the 360's current demand has nothing to do with Natal whatsoever. How many average consumers do you think tuned into E3? And then how many of those do you believe decided to buy a 360 the next day for a product that wouldn't be out until Spring 2010 at the earliest?
