I've got a piece of cookery that would like to have a chromatically themed discussion with you.

My best seller list.

1. Pants.
2. Exploding Dentures.
3. Xbox 359.4s.
4. Incomplete Roller Coasters.
5. Xbox 360.6s.
6. PS4.

Obviously my list is gospel truth, and we can infer from it that Mr. T will win the 2008 Presidential elections.

More seriously, the amazon bestseller linking is getting rather tiresome. It's one retailer in relation to one continent whose focus isn't even video games. We've got the NPD to give us numbers to cite, if the PS3 is really trouncing the 360 it will be reflected there. Speaking of which...

April:
360 - 174,000
PS3 - 82,000

May:
360 - 155,000
PS3 - 82,000

June:
360 - 198,400
PS3 - 98,500

Alone, the PS3 is not outselling the 360 in North America. If you're lumping the PS2 and the PS3 together, then combined they are outselling the 360. However, that was not the implication your sentence gave.
