Is that only me or the PS3 will actually beat the 360 next NPD?
PS3 started to rise on Amazon late January and it's doing it now in February when the 360 is nowhere near to be seem there. With a supposed gap of 5K between both (the 360 should be the one ahead as the 8% is green), it's very possible the PS3 is getting the lead in the next NPD.

And if the PS3 is starting to actually beat the 360 in the USA... yeah, no way the 360 is ahead of it in sales.
Maybe in shippments, definitely not in sales, if it can't beat it in USA it doesn't have a hope of doing that WW.

Yep.  Made a thread about that.  Using the shipped numbers, as well as reports of overshipping of the XBO, to estimate the PS3 is ahead by a few 100K.  Some on here wish to think the 360 is ahead by more than 1M.  Highly doubt it with sales this close in the US, 360's strongest region, during non-holiday months.  This is even closer than last year, when sales were only ~20K in 360's advantage.  Something completely erased by sales in Japan.  If the ~5K difference continues, the PS3 is going to  outsell it this year by quite a bit.  I mean one week of Japan's sales has a potential of completely erasing the 360's gap in the US for the entire month. 

And it seems the PS4 is slightly overtracked, while the XBO is overtracked by quite a bit more.

Well, people choose to see the things by the side they find it better. That's just how it is. At least the PS3 is hinting well enough the consistent between it sales and shippment numbers, so that's okay, I just hope Sony do a price cut by this E3. A new model would be awesome but seems more like a wish than reality to me, I would love to get a tiny PS3 as I got with the PS1 and PS2. My SuperSlim is comfortably small but I would love that to happen.

Confirmation Bias.
