Well sony won IMO. If you go back to the PS1 sony have sold about 250-300 million consoles. Quite a bit ahead of xbox.

/sarcasm.

See what I did there? Ps3 won this month. Will be close next month again though.

Given the general sentiment 'round here lately, I guess I can understand why the OP finds this necessary, but I think you are much more worried then you have to be.

In the grand scheme of things there are two things you can be sure of this gen:

1) Sony is going to lose a crap load of the market share they had last gen, and
2) Nintendo is going to gain a crap load more then they had last gen.

How much of that particular pie Microsoft takes is the only thing that is up for grabs and 5 weeks in the middle of the gen do not decide that. I mean come on, there were rabid 360 fans screaming the death of the PS3 last year at price cut time...it's cyclical.

Your thread would way as much as you imply if NPD = world. However, thats not the case. M$ has made a huge impact this gen by taking the U.S. by storm. If you live in America, you'll know that it's IMPOSSIBLE for the ps3 to catch up to the 360 here. 360 has already been ingrained into the mind as the choice for ps2-type console gaming and it was always too late to turn it around so this is no surprise.

HALO game came out, $ 100 dollars price plus a $ 50 rebate, you still got beat up badly. I would stay quiet if i were you.
