Thanks to another great week for the 360 (and adjustments to previous weeks), the 360 dropped the gap the PS3 had over it by ~333K this week. However, the 360 needed to be ahead of the PS3 by ~562K for this week to tie it.
I am fully confident history will repeat itself and the PS3 will be ahead next week by at least ~80K, which would leave the final gap at ~310K in favor of the PS3. In the event history does not repeat itself, than the most the 360 can hope for is a statistical tie for the remaining week, leaving the gap ~230K in favor of the PS3.
I will have to hand it to MS, they were able to make it much closer than I had originally thought, so congrats to them. And congrats to the PS3 for being to hold of the 360's incredible holiday season gains.
