Wow PS3's number is really strong in America. How long with the Black Ops PS3 bundle go on for?

Take away that bundle, and look at a week without Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Ed boosting Japanese sales, and PS3/360 sales are within 10k of each other.

I wonder if 360 will surpass PS3 in any week before Gears 3. NCAA Football comes in 2 weeks, and Madden in 9. If the Black Ops bundle is over by then, the small lead PS3 has over 360 should be cross-able with Madden.

Looks like sales for all platforms will be going down until September. I wonder if Wii can hold worldwide lead until the PS3/360 price cut? Wii is dying.

Madden?  I'm curious to know why you feel Madden would give the 360 such a big boost over the PS3.  I mean by that time it would still proabaly have to boost the 360 by ~20-25K to have a good lead over the PS3.  And its not like Madden is a franchise that is synonymous with the 360, as it sells alright on both systems.  Not to mention it would be the 6th in the series in this gen alone, so the vast majority of Madden fans already have either a PS3 or 360.

@ OP

The PS3 keeps decreasing that sales gap.  Keep it up, Sony.  The momentum can only help you next gen.
