It helps to examine the details as well. The PS3 sales is less an implicaton of it's own strength than the 360's weakness. The PS3 had a boost because of 1 or 2 (depending on your interpretation) panicked price cuts and system redesigns, while the 360 held at the same price point for over 18 months. Moreover, the 360 simply cannot get off the ground in Japan, which is a problem that will hobble Microsoft's efforts to become the industry leader.
At the moment the PS3 sappears to be more closely tracking the GameCube and XBox sales (though slightly ahead). Given where those consoles ended up this might be cause for despair, if not for the fact that the PS3 still costs more than twice as much as those consoles did and thus likely has more room to improve through future price cuts.
