Actually, the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 by about 200k in the time from the Halo 3 launch to the holiday season, and the PS3 was still victorious during December (and perhaps parts of November, don't wanna check). It had a headstart in September, October, and perhaps November, but overall the PS3 sold more during the most important time and the 360 won't have the same advantage this year as the two consoles have comparable lineups.

I stand corrected, it did only outsell the PS3 by 200K. i was thinking halo3 launched earlier. Still the two systems through December/some of novemeber were very equal.
I know that at christmas i visited a half dozen shops in different areas and the retails were out of Xbox360 for over around 1 1/2 weeks. Infact one shop had a sign on the xbox360 demo which said something like. "out of Wii's and 360's but got lots of PS3's, so thumbs up"
In my area at least they were sales constrained by the lack of units.
