Actually, only the last week, single week tends to favor PS3 as post Christmas sales mark a crash in sales in Americas/Europe, but not Japan.
So it really depends on how much the 360 can increase that gap. In the past, the last week favoring PS3 typically offset the week prior that 360 was superior, assuming similar trends, the gap will finish at 1.35 million - whatever 360 can manage in the next 2 weeks (December 8th data only gives 360 a 44k unit boost, so the gap will be about 1.31 million).

You're not accounting for the fact that Boxing Day has fell on the last week of the year for the past 3 years. This year it's on Christmas week. Anyway, I feel this whole argument is superfluous anyway. We won't really know for sure until we get shipments, NPD and Nintendos charts in January or February (I don't recall when their quarterly report is).

Don't 360 consoles get ridiculous price cuts on Boxing day? Wouldn't boxing day help MS out more then Sony? Last 2 years 360 Arcades were $130 on Boxing day, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were that price again.
We can agree on one thing. VGC has made a hell lot of adjustments this fall. So you're right, nothing is for sure for a while.
Also while 360 probably won't outsell PS3 by as many units as it did in 2010 and 2011, I still think it will outsell PS3 by some small margin.
