Actually,the PS3 sold better than the Xbox 360 worldwide during the 2009 holiday season. And IIRC it also outsold the Xbox 360 last holiday season but just barely after adjustments on this site regardless of the Xbox 360's strong US demograph.

What does IIRC mean?
No the PS3 did not outsell the 360 last holiday season, check again. 360 was adjusted down, but it still sold something like 30% better.
2009 was the one exception. PS3 had an incredibly strong fall due to the Slim PS3 and price cut. Sony brought down the 360/PS3 gap from 8.1 to 4 million with this move. Very smart buisness strategy, and because of this I have to say 360 typically outsells PS3 during the holidays, instead of always.

PS3 outsold 360 during holiday 2007 as well. And 360 had gotten a price cut that year. IIRC means 'If I recall correctly'.

So we're pretty sure that the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 for two Holiday seasons, 2007 and 2009. Hmmm... Sort of blows Mike-5's assessement out of the water. We'll see for 2011.
