Well Leo thats the problem right there. The PS3 ISNT selling on par with the Wii (I.E. a cheap system). The PS3 released a big game and SPIKED up temporarily CLOSE to the Wii for a small period of time while the Wii is SUPPLY CONSTRAINED.
When that many things need to line up and fall in place for the PS3 to get a measly 20k edge, that does NOT QUALIFY AS SELLING ON PAR WITH THE WII.
The most that you could gleen from this is that when the PS3 is $299 if the Wii is still $249 (which would mean it was still selling out) that the PS3 might be able to outsell the Wii if it releases one of its hugest games while the Wii is supply constrained. Is that REALLY that impressive? Its when you try and pass a small achievement off as a clear and distinct long term triumph when its clearly temporary that people jump all over you. We had this same thing during the N64 and PS1 days. A big N64 game would come out and put Ninty in #1 for a bit and people would lose their mind.
