This gap will only widen when the 360 has a price drop and Halo 3 is released. Do you realise that the PS3 couldnt sell that many because there wasnt enough units for launch in Nov, Dec, and part of Jan? When PS3 units were then getting on shelves it was half way through Jan, and it looks like the 360 is only about 55,000 copy's above.
Which is exactly why MS launched the 360 a year early. They had a 3m unit lead in the US and only added to it when the PS3 launched because they had units on shelves. Sony and Nintendo didn't (atleast in the US). PS3 isn't doing "bad" - afterall, it's a miracle that anyone was stupid enough to pay $500-$600 in the US for a console that only has 1-2 games on it the 360 doesn't. So sales are relative. It's hard to compare - the PS3 is killing every other $600 console made in history, combined, but is selling only 1/2 as quick as what the PS2 did worldwide.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
