Absolutely -- if the question was: "Is the PS3 beating the 360?" then the relevant statistic would be 360's figures this year in November, not last year.
However, if we're just asking: "Is the PS3 still relevant? Are sales high enough to justify continued support of the system?" Then I think such a comparison is valid.
