Thats pretty odd that it would happen when Ace Comat launched. Do they really like that series over there?

It was a combo of quite a bit of things that led to the X360 barely edging out the PS3:
1) Ace Combat 6 sold 73,000 units first week (obviously enough to move hardware)
2) X360 price drop by $50 (in effect, what we got in August)
3) Robust list of Platinum Titles (which all sold very very well)
4) Lack of new PS3 software
Of course, the next week, Dynasty Warriors 5 launched as well as the white PS3, and outsold the X360 by 50,000 units, but hey! The X360 did win for 1 week! :)
