Well the PS3 not only was a new model - but the new model was cheaper than the old one, shaving off close to 100$. That was almost a no brainer for people on the fence.
So why wouldn't it sell more than a smaller 360 model, same price as the previous Elite, with upgrades like wireless? The fact that the numbers are even close - is honestly a victory in my eyes for MS. Check the differences in the current market situation - if they manage to slow or cease the slipping lead in market share - that leaves Sony at a gap they can't close - an another price cut being forced onto them.
People have a whole mess of reasons to buy a PS3 over a 360 (blu-ray, excellent game catalog now, free PSN), and they are still lagging - and actually got their momentum halted/reversed by a new 360 model. I think people need to start realizing what MS is managing to do here. It really is something else.

it will be victory only if these numbers continue as PS3 sales were spread out and didn't get a price cut on existing models under the cheapest models and were already sold out everywhere unlike with other cheaper models on 360
also 360 was already cheaper not like PS3 which was still very cheap.
