I doubt PS3 can do another 1m in a week but what do I know.

As for US sales x360 still rules (over PS3) but the rest of the world is a far bigger place.

If PS3 can hang within 20K of x360 in NA and win by over 100k in the EUother regions you don't need to be a maths genius to figure out the outcome.

Hell, even the usual 50k PS3 gets over the x360 in Japan negates the US advantage and then some.

oh come on it was only 15k this week one of the biggest shopping weeks in the year

also didnt the 360 have the 50$ walmart rebate 4 elites that week too, that might of contributed in that aswell we need to see Jan and Feb sales once all this holiday stuff dies down to see if 360 still rules NA or if the ps3 can do wat it did to the 360 in Oct 09 in American sales

All that is true but you missed my point.

I am basically saying PS3 doesn't need to ever win NA. To some people (and maybe Sony themselves) it is a big issue but PS3 can do very well without it. To do so will be bonus for sure but not the "end all".

Look at the gaps off the two consoles since september and you see a pattern.

Regardless of who wins NA - and it is usually x360 - the margin is slim.

Take a look at EU sales and there is no competition.

I won't even mention Japan...OK I will. PS3 is on average 40k (guess) above x360 in Japan weekly, last week was bigger and this week is a one off.

PS3 can do very well without winning NA. It just needs to stay close in NA and win convincingly everywhere else, exactly what it has been doing since the pricecut\slim.

I also expect that EU sales will return to being greater than NA sales on all consoles next week charts.
