How much will the PS3 outsell the Xbox 360 by next week?

Look, as I said, I'm not calling out MikeB or John_Doe. It's entirely possible that they didn't believe the 2007 Sony lineup would boost sales.

But it did boost sales, just not competition crushing sales. Sony sold more PS3s in 2007 than Microsoft sold 360s. The PS3 won worldwide christmas sales compared to the 360, despite Halo 3 was released a week before the last quarter.

I know many 360 fans who predicted 360 sales would crush PS3 sales over christmas due to the release of Halo 3. Certainly that wasn't the case.

That bolded comment is very misleading.  Microsoft sold more Xbox 360's to consumers at retail last year than Sony did PS3's.  Sony had a marginally higher shipment rate because Microsoft stuffed the supply chain in late 2006 and didn't have to refill shipments till a third of the way through the year in any major way.
