Christmas holidays can really screw up sales predictions. A little more than 6 months ago, the 360 was well on its way to widening their lead to 9 million against the PS3 with worldwide weekly sales in favor of the 360. Then Sony introduced a price cut via the slim along with some major games. Now the difference is around 6 million with worldwide weekly sales in favor of the PS3.

Hardly anyone predicted this would happen. There was an overwhelming sentiment that the 360 was going to keep at least a 10 million lead and end up as undisputed 2nd by the time next generation consoles arrived since the 360 usually does pretty well in the Christmas season. Now some people are convinced that the PS3 still has a chance. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Either way, it is too hard to tell at this point.
