This deal was only in the US so it does not surprise me that PS3 is still beating them worldwide. The strong 360 sales that week in the US can't make up for the large PS3 to 360 gaps in the rest of the world. MS is getting mauled in Europe/Others. They need to do something about the PAL regions. I could be wrong but my guess is that Microsoft is doing a poor job of marketing their console and brand in Europe. I looked at the top selling PS3 exclusives games in the PAL regions and to be honest, they aren't all that different from the type of PS3 games that are popular in the states (Resistance, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Motorstorm, MGS4, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, etc.) I don't think cultural sensitivies with software is the issue like it is with Japan (PS3 has a higher quantity of Japanese software and the charts are practically almost entirely ruled by Japanese software over there). I think the issue is lack of brand power for the Xbox.
