Lets put this in perspective.
GTA San Andreas was 6:1 for PS2:XB, with 5 times install base, released almost a year earlier and much bigger legs.
GTA4 is currently 1.8:1 in NA for 360:PS3, and not announced for Europe, but in order to reach 1:1 WW, Europe needs to make 1m sales >360 first week for PS3. The most that any mulitplatform game where the PS3>360 is 0.48 for Pro Evo 2008, and this is only 1 game and this is LTD, 360 clearly outsells on almost every other multi-platform game. The install base WW is 1.6:1 for 360:PS3 at the moment.
Yes the bulk of sales is obviously during Xmas. 360 is expected to make a price cut this year in NA, with one already in Europe. At Xmas, GTA4+360=$360/£200, GTA4+PS3=$460/£310. Yes I dont expect PS3 to make a cut because they have slashed price so much already and even if they do, 360 is the cheaper option.
Please tell me what is your definition of a significant lead worldwide for PS3, give me a ratio. Even 2:1 at this point is very unlikely.
