Actually according to MS !

This year will be the largest in the history of the video game industry, with Xbox 360 leading the charge in the U.S. and abroad," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. "History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle. We are uniquely positioned to set a new benchmark for the industry."

Somehow, I think this all ironically led up to DMeisterJ's virginity causing the downfall of the PS3.

Unbelievable.

@LOL MATURE: So you proved yourself wrong by demonstrating that the range you posted earlier is incorrect since the maximum you can account for is 6.6m?

EDIT: Whoa, I just noticed that you were doing some very generous rounding in favor of the PS3. It's actually much closer to 6.5m going by the numbers you provided. You have proved yourself to be entirely wrong.

 

 I rounded to the nearest tenth. Normal thing to do in math. Also if you go by when the ps3 was launched full strength WW the lead was 7.1 (instead of a regional breakdown like i did)
