Go Sony! But I have to say I couldn't stop staring at the Japan Numbers. Sony has a long ways to go there.

These numbers are whacked.

There's your problem right there...people can edit anything on there...I thought those numbers were way off when I saw it..

[Slapper]

for the worldwide sales the ps3 and xbox 360 are reversed.

As previous posters have said...somehow...(Check your copy and paste function...I think it's broken...pick yourself up some duct tape) got your numbers reversed...I just checked wikipedia and this is what I got.

Good question, and this is the #1 reason I don't like wikipedia.

[quaylie]

dude it would be all over the news if the PS3 was kicking the 360 that bad...some tool reversed the numbers...
