Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 could statistically surpass 360, may 2011--Jan. 2012

 

The Current HD console Gap is 5,583,010

 

SINCE PS3 SLIM LAUNCH

Xbox 360 has sold:----- 7,570,300

Playstation 3 has sold:----- 10,605,581

A Gap of:---- 3,035,281

Divide that by the 30 weeks its been...

PS3 has outsold the 360 by an average of 101,176 since the Slim Launch

Now divide the lifetime Gap between the two consoles (5,583,010) by the PS360 outsell average

you get 55 Weeks MINIMUM until the PS3 will outsell the 360.

Thats sometime in May..but speaking realistically that gap is misleading and It probably wont happen until sometime late in 2011 or early 2012 Baring The impact of any/all pricecuts, releases ect.

PS3 has an outsell period from May, 2011--January, 2012.

It's concievable, both consoles have the same amount of breathing room for pricecuts as they are currently the same price, so pricecuts on both sides should still end up favoring the PS3 if these patterns continue. There is no reason to think that they won't, either.

Yeah it's possible, I think the way motion controllers are perceived by the casual market will be a huge factor in this as well

make a calculation based on the numbers in late 2008 and the gap between the 360 and the PS3 will increase....

There is no validity in such kind of calculations.

I think motion control reception will be the deciding factor... but w/out this would be likely...



barozi, yes..there is...That was a complete fanboy comment...wow.

1.) The Slim wasnt launched in 2008,
2.) 2008 is completely irrelevant cause it doesnt cooincide with the current trend thats been running for 9 months now.
3.) again 2008 doesnt matter...at all anymore.

Statistically the PS3 can overtake the 360 by the end of this year. The PS3 sold 5.5 million more units by the end of 2009 than the 360 sold by the end of 2008, this even with a delay for PAL regions and other regions and higher entry pricing. That's about what the 360 sold its first year, the PS3 just needs to sell more than the 360 outsold the PS3 from release from now (minus this headstart, which is already been taken care of).

The PS3 slim at the moment is tracking to do about 15 million sales a year. The new control methods, the rumoured 360 slim, price drops and Gran Turismo 5 may have a profound impact of events though.

PS3 vs 360 sales

So what? By that time the PS3 will be 4 and a half or 5 years old....will it matter at that point? It's not like parties will start jumping ship because this console generation will be on the decline and it's not like the PS3 or 360 have sold bad either.



Had to change my sig to get some moderator to quit bitching about it......

 

yeah def possible....like you said price cuts will be a big factor and also how Move and Natal are received...i think the latter will be the biggest factor
