Earlier today checking VGChartz to see how the PS3 is selling worldwide it's ahead of the 360 week's sales. The weekly sales difference is roughly 160K. A big drop from last week. If we assume this week's sales is stable this means 1 year for the PS3 to surpass the 360.
Of course assuming so a wild a** guess. Christmas seasons on the way and the new PS3 and 360 controllers in 2010 it's anyone's guess that this may change before 2011.
I think the nearly 1/2 million PS3 sales we saw the week of 9/6 more likely shows people were expecting a price break, didn't buy the month or 2 before the break, and now bought. This week should be interesting. If the fall continues we'll see the PS3 and 360 again neck in neck.

More on the YLoD... "the YLoD problem takes place 18 to 24 months after the original purchase, conveniently six or more months after the warranty expires. Sony has acknowledged the problem.."
What is the problem? BBC "Watchdog didn't buy the "range of issues" statement and sent off sixteen consoles owned by viewers who originally complained about the error. An independent console repairer disassembled the devices and heated the motherboard in a special oven, re-heating the solder to a point where the metal could repair bad connections between the components and the circuit board. After this trick, all sixteen consoles began working again; five were later reported to malfunction again."
Sony claims that this cannot fix all the problems indicated by YLoD.
