Maybe he put an antiperspirant too effective on his armpits and couldn't flood the cocaine in excess out, so he went berserk with numbers.

Don't be shy, man, we know you and kow won the US national lottery and bought half a million XB360s each, so it must be UK!   

And LOL @ the new tagline in the thread title.   

Thanks, I expect dictionary to take it seriously

500k consoles at $200 would cost $1b? I wanna play what lottery you're playing.

Just $100M! US lottery should be rich enough! 

(and yes, it's late and I was almost making the same mistake!)

So many years and you still don't know that only happens to Sony consoles? ;)

truer words

Totally agree. Let us wait for the shipment figures.

Any difference of ~100k - or 0.66 % when talking about 15 000 000 - is far closer than any "statistical tie" (rationally ~2.5%) could be.

Really - until we get hard figures from multiple smaller regions (here in Aus, MS and Sony release figures maybe once every quarter, and usually through interviews/press release rather than regular reports, and the only official tracking here excludes many major chain game stores, and online sales - and I've got no idea what numbers VGC has calculated individually for Australia as part of EMEAA - but much anecdotal evidence reveals a massive spike in sales to one of the twins) - most of which will be months away - if at all, 100k could we wiped out in one fell swoop of a sales report 100k swing either way from Australia or any other similarly sized market.

So congratulations MS, and congratulations Sony.

At this stage we have a tie. Or a "choose your own winner" type scenario. Judging by the "love" thread , we already have plenty of posters taking the "choose your own" path - and good luck to you all!

It's been an epic thread, I arrived late, but read every one of these here posts over the last month or so.

We are all winners!

That's funny, your post history in this thread tells of a less reasonable attitude with no humility when you thought the PS3 had more than likely won.

To the OP: please extend the Cumulative total database to current period and to see whether the PS3 lead of October 2011 is achieved again. I'm sure it'll be achieved in 3-4 months.
