Why do people say the Ps3 will outsell Xbox360?

If it coninues like these(based on charts from april 5th) the ps3 will catch up in 63 weeks.

186 000/(11.6 *10^6)= 0.015(ps3)
134000/(18.1*10^6)=0.0075(360)
1.015^x*11.6*10^6=1.0075^x*18.1*10^6
(1.015^x)/(1.0075^x)=(18.1*10^6)/(11.6*10^6)
1.0079^x=1.56034
(log 1.56034)/(log 1.0079)=63-64 weeks

In europe 19 weeks:

100 000/5.2mill=.02(ps3)
66 000/6.2mill=.01(360)
5.1mil*1.02^x=6.2*1.01^x
1.02/1.01= 1.0099=1.01^x
6.2/5.1=1.21
log 1.21/log 1.01= 19 weeks

You're using a wrecking ball to hit a nail in a two by four... this is simple math

PS3 is outselling the 360 by 52,000 units/week so it will take 123 weeks for the PS3 to catch up to the 6.4 million consoles its behind... NOT 66

Or it would, if sales were at the same level year round.  But if the sales proportions remain the same over the Christmas period (and I don't say they necessarily will) then that shortens the time span drastically.
