Wow what a weak reply, you don't prove me wrong at all it's just more fud. What i've posted are stone cold facts, feel free to try and prove me wrong with actual facts instead of more biased opinions & wishful thinking that you try to pass off as facts. And no i NEVER said the mods are biased, that's a really sad attempt to try and get me into trouble.

You realise of the last 4 Q's PS3 and 360 have shipped the same/on par
Q2 - 1m vs 1.1m
Q4 - 3.5m each
Q1 - 800k each.
It was only Q3 where PS3 shipped 800k more (which still doesn't seem to put them ahead becaused after that Sony announced 80m shipped weeks after Microsoft did. Since that announcement they've been shipping at the same rates ... and no word on Sony from PS3 overtaking 360 (which they would announce, don't kid yourself.)

Yeah the problem is you don't actually know what the PS3 numbers are and those are just your guesses. Not only that but who's to say one company has shipped more but sold less than the other. There's also been another 7 weeks worth of sales since the last quarter ended, again who's to say that hasn't changed who's ahead either way. Again i point you to the fact that for countless years now whatever amount the 360 has outsold the PS3 in the USA, the PS3 makes up that difference in Japan and that's still true to this day. So that leaves Europe+the rest of the world where overall the Playstation has always dominated the 360, yet we're supposed to believe with zero evidence that now magically the 360 is outselling the PS3 in it's best region when it can barely manage to out sell it in the USA which is it's worst region. And to be perfectly honest i don't think Sony will announce when they've overtaken Microsoft because it's only the battle for second place, they'll announce when they hit 90 or 100 million tho.

No but, we DO know those numbers, they're not guesses. Q1 last year there were no combined PS2 figures, the 1.1m was entirely PS3. Q4 we know because PS4 did 4.2m, leaving 3.5m for PS3. And last Q they shipped 3.6m? combined. Given PS4 hit 7m during that Q, a minimum is 2.8 for PS4, leaving 800k (or less) for PS3. This isn't guessing.

Again no that's not accurate.
In the April - June 2013 Quarter, the PS3 sold 1.1m to the 360's 1.0m, so the PS3 sold more.
In the July - September 2013 Quarter, the PS3 sold 2.0m to the 360's 1.2m, so again the PS3 sold more.
Then over the next two quarters the 360 sold 3.5m and 0.8m for a combined total of 4.3m.
During that same time the PS4 was released and Sony started releasing combined PS3 and PS4 numbers and from October 2013 till March 2014 they sold a combined total of 11.5m.
As of the 6th of April 2013 Sony announced they had sold 7m PS4's and since the above numbers were from a week before the 6th of April that means PS4 had to have sold less then 7m by that point. The PS4 has been selling roughly a million a month so that means if you take away a weeks worth of sales that means at the end of March the PS4 was roughly at 6.75-6.80 million. Take that number away from the PS3+PS4 combined total number of 11.5m and that leaves a potential total of 4.70-4.75 million PS3 sales.
The PS4 has been supply constrained so the number of PS4's in the retail chain will be very low but nobody knows the exact amount. So when the 360 sold 4.3m and the PS3 could have potentially sold 4.75m during the same time you can't say that the 360 sold the same amount. It's still too close to call who's ahead at the end of March or now in the middle of May.
