Christmas is always far bigger in west so I guess America will hold the advantage at the end of the year. Volumes are just so much bigger in America during christmas period that X360 advantage in America will be bigger in terms of units compared to PS3 advantage in Japan.

Last year 360 and PS3 were virtually tied from Black Friday to New Years in Americas. The gap in Japan was 625k. This year the gap in Japan will likely be the same or marginally smaller. 360 will likely win in Americas this year but with GT5 coming I don't think it will be by a 500k margin. In fact I wouldn't even say 360 has BF locked down.
