Obviously from time to time it'll lead on a weekly basis - for example when GT5 launches it might well outsell 360 - so there's no point discussing that.

LTD?  Who knows.  I think 360 has a strong lead, but it isn't as strong as US, and the PS3 is effectively 2 holiday seasons behind 360 overall (so far as I am aware), so it does remain possible LTD if the PS3 sees enough demand and both are on the market for the same time and see the same number of holiday seasons.

I think though 360 will remain just ahead in UK LTD.

PS3 owns about 38% of HD market in both US and UK, it's a tie, so it's lead is just as strong as US.

I'm factoring in ratio for launch difference assuming they both have exactly the same LTD on market.  In UK the PS3 is two Christmas seasons behind the 360 - i.e. it they are on the market the same time the PS3 still has two more christmas periods of peak sales to go vs the 360.

Therefore in the UK the 360 lead is less than US as in UK to have that gap the 360 required 2 extra christmas sales peaks plus over 12 months extra on market vs only one christmas period in US.

See - makes sense when you're talking LTD expectations with the assumption both consoles are on the market for the same time (relative to each other) and each have exactly the same number of peak sales holiday periods.

your absolutely right. the question is, if ps3 gets the chance of beeing sold a full additional year. it all comes down to the point of view. if you compare them timely alligned they sell equally good or in a slight favor of the ps3, if you compare absolute figures, xbox is one year ahead... simple as that.
