Away from the US, worldwide sales of the PS3 are actually ahead of the 360 for 2011, with Sony selling ten per cent more consoles than Microsoft thanks to strong showings in Japan and Europe. The Xbox 360 does retain a five per cent lead over its rival worldwide, but it's an increasingly negligible margin according to analyst Jesse Divnich. "The Xbox 360 does retain a five per cent lead over its rival worldwide, but it's an increasingly negligible margin according to analyst Jesse Divnich" Now could this be talking about that 360 sales do include warranty claims, plus people paying out for their 3rd to 4th 360 that are out of warranty?. What about the Millions that got banned in 2010 and the people who got banned in 2011 randomly for no reason. Now i know you will say it was people using copied games etc but it wasn't. At first microsoft said they where in right in what they were doing and didn't need to explain why or offer some sort of way to prove it was microsofts error and they denied it on and on...till watchdog on UK tv contacted microsoft pretending to be a customer. Guess what the solution was to get unbanned??? To buy another 360. Once microsoft realised it was watchdog on to them, microsoft admitted that it was their fault all along and it was a software error. So How many 360 sold where to do with this aswell? was this another way for microsoft to force existing customers to buy yet another 360???. So the article IGN posted does make sense and explains how ps3 caught up. Disagree? well you explain how ps3 caught up in sales??. Plus if you look at ps3 sales blocked in Europe by LG and the psn hack, ps3 went through alot of crap and still sold loads....I know its all if's but's and maybe's but what if the ps3 didn't face sales being blocked or face the psn hack?. Now i know you say vgchartz can't be trusted etc but its showing sales on a weekly bases and so far in 2012, ps3 leading. Is this accurate? does it matter?. So what does matter? GAMES! and 2011 and 2012 is looking pretty bleak for 360, after all the 360 is all about the games, or so it was back in 2007 lol. So what now?. What is 360 doing that ps3 isn't regarding games?.SUD123456

Hey troll, how come you didn't post this from the same article from Jesse:

"The problem is the Xbox 360, which has increased its velocity without the aid of any price cuts or redesigns over the last year. The Xbox 360's success is simply incredible." Divnich, a respected games industry forecaster, added that the Xbox 360's sales have defied his predictions for months. "The only reasoning that seems plausible is the Kinect or the strength of its software library has reached some sort of tipping point making the Xbox 360 an incredible value to consumers at its current price point," he concluded.
