I will get shredded for this, but there is a chance 360 is still ahead.

Very creative, if not desperate math to keep XBox360 ahead. Look, it is very simple:
PS3 sales up to Oc1,2013: 83.5mio - FY12 PS2 sales.
So in order to sell less than XBox360, Sony would have had to sell more than 4.1mio PS2s. 4.1mio was total sales of PS2 in FY11, into a market that was crumbling fast (FY09: 7.3mio, FY10 6.4mio, FY11 4.1mio). I think a good estimate for FY12 shipments would be anywhere from 2m (pessimist) to 3.5m (optimist) given the rapid market shrinking. (And yes, the PS3 is overtracked here but that is another discussion)

So you're going on record to say Sony smashed their FY target and being up YOY last year despite ... actually being down each quarter in Japan, EU and US. That's what you're saying, and you have no proof. Okay.
What I said made use of the infomation they had and assumed Sony hit their FY target.
You described what you're doing perfectly, creative maths. Not using logic :)

Not that being down in JP, EU and US means anything. As proof, PS2 was down in JP, EU and US, yet it apparently was up YOY?

PS2 was practically discontinued in all those regions ages ago.
