Damn you're desperate, why don't you provide some unbiased points (like yes it can be heavily undertracked in Europe because they had extensive advertising this holiday there) and yes PS3 can be undertracked because it's DOWN yoy this Q in Japan, and DOWN yoy this Q in US. Last Q4 had GT5, you don't think it can be down? really?

There are a lot of other countries that sell X360, like all the countries it also got extensive advertising in and price cuts.

I love how you just assume there is a 1m gap ... you're unbelieveable

I'm not saying 360 has won, or that PS3 isn't ahead in actual sold units. But you've just come up with everything to suit your argument again. Why am I not surprised ....

Yeah you should include more possibilites imo.

I would, but there really aren't any others that I can think of.  We have checks in place for US and Japan, maybe a few other countries.  But EU is most likely going to be where the over/undertracking is.  That doesn't mean that #1 isn't correct, but I just gave a few reasons why I don't think the numbers are that off.  And if they are, it's most likely going to be both that are overtracked.  I don't see the 360 pulling a miracle and just getting most of the non-US/UK countries to say "Screw the PS3" after it dominating in them for so long, and then go out and buy upwards of ~1 million 360 consoles in 3 months, causing it to jump ahead of the PS3.
