Well, week ending Nov 5th is up, so here are the updated numbers.

As of week ending Nov 5th - 9,129,484(PS3) - 7,520,482(360) = 1,609,022 or ~230K over the PS3 for the next 7 weeks.

@ Michael - 5

It's cool, we all make mistakes. And I agree, it would take some crazy price cutting to even tie with the PS3 at this point. Something like a $149 250GB SKU and a Kinect price cut to $50.

Even then it's still very unlikely. They need to give out free 360's!!!

Lol, maybe.  I say a $149 SKU, but thinking about it, it would probably take a $99 SKU.  Of course, neither one of those are happening.

@ BHR-3

Idk.  Maybe he thought that the numbers would start to shift in MS's favor.  But when that didn't happen, he didn't wish to stick around for whatever aftermath may occur.  Only a guess. 

And yes, the 360 is definitely going to start to outsell the PS3 after the release of MW3, but for how many weeks and by how much is the question.  But, even if the 360 does happen to outsell it for 7 straight weeks, there's no way it would average ~230K a week over.  Keep in mind that last year, for the same time period, the highest the 360 outsold the PS3 by was ~182K.  The average was ~120K.  Of course, I'm not even including the last week of the year, which will undoubtedly go to the PS3.
