If vgchartz keep revise their overall worldwide numbers to show that the gap between the PS3 and 360 shrinking, maybe that means that the PS3 has actually been outselling the both the 360 and the Wii. Hmmm.....

What nonsense.... You need to understand how adjustments work better.
Gap when 360S launched: 4.0m
Gap now: 5.0m
I make that an extra 1m 360's sold over the PS3... how about you?

But didn't at some point the gap was larger than 5 million? According to what I've seen on this sight when it comes to the adjusted worldwide numbers is that the gap between the PS3 and 360 was shrinking when the PS3 Slim was released. Then it was increasing when the 360 Slim was launch and then it was decreasing again. If vgchartz keeps showing that the gap continues to shrink (I went from 5.8 to 5.4 to 5.1 and now 5.0 recently) that means the PSS3 has been outselling the 360 worldwide recently. Then again, since vgcharts need to continually adjust their number, maybe they aren't accurate in their tracking.

I think you need to understand how the numbers work on here. The adjustments that happened to change the gap are historical adjustments and have no bearing on recent figures particularly.
I cannot be bothered to get the exact figures but what these adjustments have done is mean that when the 360 slim was released the gap was around 4 million not 4.5 million in actual fact and hence the gap is now 5 million and not 5.5 million like it would be without adjustments. Notice that the two figures are 1 million apart meaning current selling trends are unaffected. The sales between the slims release and now have been pretty accurate pending future adjustments.

Actually the adjustments aren't just historical. Check Americas and EMEAA sales from the past few weeks. PS3 has been pretty consistently beating Wii in Americas for about a month. Originally Wii was edging out PS3 by a couple thousand units a week. And PS3 beat 360 and even DS 3 weeks ago (Week after Reach) in EMEAA.
