Thanks to an incredible Black Friday week, the 360 has been able to cut the lead the PS3 has over it this year to just under 1 million. Congratulations must go out to MS for accomplishing this feat. A little must also go out to Sony for having their best Black Friday week, as well, though not as large as MS's week was. This outdoes the 287K needed last week, and so cuts the gap the 360 must outsell the PS3 back to ~249K a week. I still don't think the 360 can pull this off, but it will be closer than I normally thought (originally around a 800K-1M lead for the PS3).
As of week ending Nov 26th - 10,685,643(PS3) - 9,688,395(360) = 997,248 or ~249K over the PS3 for the next 4 weeks.
A note on the numbers: Since we don't have the yearly numbers, yet, each week I'm just going to continue to go back to the week of Nov 19th and add each individual week from that point on to the total from the week of Nov 12th. This will help me include any adjustments from that week on in the new totals. I shouldn't have to do this for many weeks, as the yearly charts should be back soon.
