If the PS3 doesn't out sell the 360 by at least 100K this month then PS3 faith is sealed for 3rd place this gen in N. America.



Hmm btw will hardware numbers be released today? (On VGCHARTZ).

I believe that's already been sealed a long time ago.

I think every one at the start of this month was expecting X360 to win this November due to Walmart deal.. and VGC expects only around 30k lead for PS3.. so i wander why r u thinking 100k.?

Why does everyone think the Wii is overtracked again?

Um perhaps its due to the fact that its often overtracked. The worst example was last december when the wii was overtracked by nearly a million!!
With vgchartz numbers the rule of thumb is
Wii you need to minus 10%
Xbox360 about right
Ps3 you need to add 10%

It wasn't overtrackrd by a million. NPD just effed up.

Because the PS3 strong advertisment in the U.S. this month + PS3 was sold out at ALL Wal-mart, GameStop and Best Buy for Black Friday bundle deals.
