Yeah i realized that and i meant going forward for the rest of the year. I think there is just enough going on right now that in the next week or two the PS3 will get close to the Xbox 360 worldwide. But I do not believe the PS3 will actually pass the 360 anytime this year.
I don't remember who it was but a Sony executive was saying six months ago that developers don't think in terms of "whats the install base now?," they think "what will be the console's installed bases when I finish my game in two years?" His point was that he thought their was about to be an imminent turnaround that saw the PS3 growing FASTER than the 360. The problem is many games will be given the go ahead in the next 3-4 months and not only will the 360 already have a substantial lead, it will still be increasing it.
Even if the PS3 starts to sell more than the 360 in about March next year, we have truly seen the end of the masses of PS third-party exclusives of the last generation. Even if there was a dramatic turnaround in the PS3's fortune, it's too late in the game for them to justify anything other than multiplat or even 360 exclusive outside of hardcore Japan-only games.
