A little over half a million to go! I do love a close race! Now lets all hope that VGC doesn't screw up like the past few X-mas severely undertracking the PS3 while overtracking the Xbox360 to an extent where it sold more than it shipped.

During the last 5 or 6 weeks they undertracked the PS3 by 3,700 and overtracked the 360 by 86,000. So I wouldn't exactly call that "severely undertracking" on the PS3's part.

Like almost everything on this website people overdramatized it.

Agrred. Reading through this thread, it really seems that some guy's sanity depends on whether their favourite gadget beats the other guy's favourite gadget by applying their definition of "winning". Sony's fj plan is not to sell more than MS, the plan is to sell 15mio units, it says so in its fj plan. It looks like they could actually make it so they will have "won". As far as undertracking is concerned, This week, Sony Germany announced they sold 3mio PS3 in Germany (there will be a raffle for a PS3 with gold plated "3'000'000" on it. Not even going into the "shipped vs sold" argument, check VGChartz for its number to see incoming adjustments.
