lol, not sure why they are avoiding you, but what you just posted here is certainly not helping as you are proving nothing wrong with Google:)

Try replacing "xbox360" by "xbox 360" next time... I do not think a lot of people are searching for "xbox360" in one word usually which is the case for the PS3.... http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox%20360%2C%20PS3&cmpt=q

To illustrate my point, I did the same with "Playstation3" and "xbox360"... It is going the other way:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox360%2C%20playstation3&cmpt=q

And now just to finish, look at "Playstation" versus "Xbox" only:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox%2C%20playstation&cmpt=q

For the last one I think that people are using the keyword PS2 or PS3 more often so it is explaining the differences as I would expect them to be closer.

So nope, I do not think Google is wrong with their numbers!

I thought there was something fishy about that graph...

But doesn't this just confirm that there isn't a correlation? Because for the most part the PS3 has been outselling the 360 right? Maybe some of those 360 searches can be attributed to game searches ("game x 360"), which would make sense since more software is sold on 360... there's no real way of knowing that though.
