That "360 sales better than Ps3 during the holidays" is a total myth based off of short term memory loss. They base it off of last year but ignore years before.
Also, why wouldn't that gap widen? NPD suggest VGC to have overtracked the 360 and undertracked the Ps3 and on top of that the Ps3 beat the 360 according to VGC.

2012 so far favors 360 by 270k
2011 You admit, strong 360 preference, 1.27 million in favor of 360
2010, Nov/December sales are in favor of 360 by close to 700k.
2009 - PS3 Slim, PS3 dominance, something like 2 million
2008 - Nov/December sales are in favor of 360 by 1.26 million, quite a dominance
2007 - Nov/December sales are in favor of PS3 by 430k
2006 - From PS3 launch to years end, 360 outsold PS3 by 1.6 million units
Bold mark holidays seasons favoring 360, of the last 7, 360 has been leading 5 times.
It's not a myth, look up facts before making claims like such.
This is why the gap shouldn't widen, if 360 typically outsells PS3 in November/December, the gap should then reduce.

See this is where you fail. I think you are getting you numbers from VGC while shipment figures suggest otherwise. 2006 it was Ps3 in 2 markets lacking it's strongest market compared to 360 in all three markets. 2010 Both MS and Sony shipped the same amount. If they werent selling on par retailers wouldn't accept shipments. But hey, whatever you want to believe. Lets just wait till Feb when shippments are released. Since NPD suggests that that 270k lead could be pretty much 0

shipped =/= sold, We're talking about sales, well at least I am. This is where you fail.
In 2010 MS just released the 360 Slim and has having shortages. Just because PS3 shipped as many units as 360, doesn't mean the demand was equal.
So, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, and so far 2012, 360 sales tend to be noticably higher in the fall. 2009 was the year of the PS3 Slim, and 2007 makred the first PS3 price cut.
