Sony is kicking MS ass in japan and europe(in europe way more that the estimations here would make you believe).MS plans to take over,they explicitly said so,but it wont be so easy.

I don't think that you can claim that Sony is kicking Microsoft's ass in Europe when the XBox 360 has a 2 Million unit lead and is only being outsold by (approximately) 10,000 units per week; at that rate it would take Sony 4 years to catch the XBox 360.

I've been noticing that the definition of "Sony ass-kicking" has been getting softer and softer with time.
