MS fans like me congratulating a console for coming in first place in 2 of the 3 biggest single markets whilst the curent gen is still alive is silly.

The PS3 coming 2nd overall after the next xbox and Wii are released is a far bigger deal.

... if you are desparate.

 

So what you're saying is that, if the 360 passes the Wii after the Wii U came out in 2 of the three biggest single markets that matters, but if the PS3 passed the 360 overall after the next Xbox comes out that doesn't matter at all.  

Those two scenarios sound exactly the same to me, passing a console that's already had it's successor release.  Only argument I could maybe see is that getting first place in two of the three biggest single markets is more important than being second overall, which is plausible but is up for debate and certainly isn't as obvious as you try to make it seem.  

I would imagine that the more important factor is that the US, Canada and UK are home to some of the best developers in the world so being ahead in those regions is important in swaying them to your console.  I'm not discounting there are other countries with a good reputation too though .   Just food for thought in why not just the fact theyre the biggest regions is necessarily important.
