Despite a 16 month disadvantage, Sony have overhauled Microsoft in Europe but in the US the XBox 360 remains in front of the PS3 but the gap is decreasing.
In the United States however there are now 10 million XBox 360's in consumers hands. This compares to just under 5 million PS3's. Microsoft is hailing the 10 million barrier as proof that the XBox 360 has won the next generation console war.
But hold on one moment.
The PS3 is not only ahead and extending the lead in Europe but is outselling the XBox 360 in the United States according to data from the last few months.
