In the end, does it really matter whether or not the PS3 surpasses the 360 in overall console sales? If you look at recent software sales, there is an incredibly smaller gap between the PS3 and 360 version of games.
Take Mafia II for example. The 360 version of Mafia II sold 114,377 this week, while the PS3 version sold 113,252. That's barely over a 1,000 units difference.
Clearly the 360's 5 million plus lead should be generating a considerable amount more software sales than the PS3, but recent trends seem to suggest that the PS3 has dramatically decreased the gap in terms of software sales (which may suggest that the user bases are closer in size than the sales suggest).
