I think that the people who are screaming "statistical tie" would be screaming "360 won" if the PS3/360 numbers were reversed.

I doubt they would be screaming much at all with such a low margin. They are used to the Xbox 360 cleanly besting the PS3 in the American market in terms of relative sales. Even if the margin were reversed in the opposite direction the people claiming a victory would probably be just as pleased with themselves that the PS3 was that close.
