Here is the relevant graph - you can also look at cumulative, but then the initial sales offset is taken into account:
The numbers I have see the 360 with a slight lead - ahh, I'm including the one extra week at the start (where the 360 gained 50k in a week).
Back dating of figures has also advantaged the PS3, with numbers tending to be revised up (I think 3 times now the 360 took a slight weekly lead, only to lose it a couple of days later).
...
Its an easy statistical tie. There are also two ways to look at the numbers overall:
- PS3 viewpoint: Sony has done a great job of matching 360 WW figures from year 2, with year 1 of the PS3
- 360 viewpoint: MS has done a great job matching the PS3 figures, with Sony throwing everything possible into the market (price cuts, new models, bundling, etc). MS still has a lot of "bullets" in their gun.
