Dunno whether HW sales are comparable to software. No one really tracks software shipments. But every quarter we get hardware shipments reported and so anyone who's interested has been able to keep an eye on PS3 vs 360 through official company information. People will assume that when PS3 shipments as reported by Sony > Xbox360 shipments as reported by Microsoft then PS3's sold to consumers will be > 360s sold to consumers. With not much of a lag that is pretty much true. So the big news will be when Sony puts out a press release saying they've sold more PS3s than MS has sold 360s, and in a year's less time on the market.
Has Sony made such an announcement yet? Or are they going to announce it at E3 as part of building the hype around PS4?
I think the only way the VGChartz moment of PS3 overtaking 360 gets much publicity is if VGChartz tries to get it out to there itself.
