The PS3 has already caught up to and passed the 360 sales!

I love all the posts saying 'when will PS3 catch up to 360?' Imagine 2 cars in a 4 lap car race, and the 360 car gets a 1 lap head start. People are saying the 360 is ahead? Right! Well, to even things out, lets factor in that extra 'lap' of sales, 5.9 million xbox360's in it's first year. You can either minus that from the total 360 sales (42 m) or add it to the PS3 sales (36.6m) to nullify that head start, either way PS3 is ahead, 36m for 360 vs 36.6m for PS3, or 42m 360 vs 42.6m PS3. When a race has staggered starting of the contestants, you don't look at who's nearest the finish line, but their distance/time for the race so far. 

let's put apart for a moment your flawed logic...and let's concentrate on pure math.

Let's start by saying that the week before the Ps3 launch the x360 WW total was about 5.3M (and not 5.9)...now the gap is about 5.4M: let's add it to actual PS3 WW total..and you know what? PS3 is still behind. (= your math needs a refresh as your logic)
