But! 360 S had a better launch than PS3 Slim...

582,815 vs. 376,274 (don't say 'Its only been 2 days for EMEAA'. You think it's going to sell 200K in 3 days in order to make the launch look better?) taking into account opening weeks in all regions

Still, great numbers for the 360 S. Successful launch. What will be more interesting is when it gets back down to normal weekly numbers. Both systems will be $300. Both will have mandatory hard drives and wireless, so the feature count will be the same (minus Blu-Ray obviously). Finally, price parity with just about equal features. NOW we can TRULY see what people want more

Not really.

A 360s arcade will be coming, along with Kinect and Move.

I think it's extremely safe to say though that the 360 is more wanted in the UK and US, wheras worldwide as a whole, the PS3 is more wanted.

I don't think we can say the PS3 is more wanted worldwide as a whole.  In Japan, obviously.  But Europe as a whole is practically tied.  Had it not been for the 360's glaring hardware problems early on the gap there would likely be much bigger and still in the 360's favor.  EU always has more news coverage on failed electronics products than the Americas.

Also, I think it was a great launch week for the 360S considering it had no price cut with it, no month long time after the announcement to build up a good launch supply (all sold out first day), and only 2 days worth of sales in most of EMEAA.
