Let me help you see it.
The 360 has been available for 72 Weeks in North America, 71 Weeks in Europe and 70 in Japan; that's 212 "region weeks". In that time, according to VGCharts, there have been 9.68M 360s sold world wide. That works out at an average sales rate of 45,608 360s per region week.
The PS3 has been available for 21, 22 and 3 weeks for a total of 45 region weeks. In that time there have been 3.15M sold worldwide for an average sales rate of 70,286 PS3s per region week.
So the PS3 is selling better than the 360 at the moment. With those figures, the PS3 will pass the 360 in total sales sometime in December 2008.
Of course, we have Halo 3, Forza 2, PGR 4 and others to come for the 360. However we also have Heavenly Sword, Lair, Gran Turismo 5 and others to come for the PS3. Exclusives sell consoles, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when those games come out.
Just for giggles, the Wii is currently selling at an average rate of 116,389 units per region week and will overtake the 360's total sales in July this year if the consoles continue to sell at the same rates.
