Unless Natal is some kind of huge breakout hit, it'll likely happen in 2011.

Even if PS3 outsells 360 by 70k each week like it did the most recent week, it would be 77 weeks before PS3 surpasses 360.

That's about October 2011 for you kids counting at home, and that's kind of a best case scenario. A 360 price drop could come out the same time as Natal which will throw things off as well as Halo Reach this year and Gears 3 early next year.

You don't take into account that during stronger sales periods, like Xmas, the gaps, no matter in favour of whom, widen, but even with every possible boost, it couldn't happen before 2011, I agree.

2011, seriously Sony's FF and GT franchises are the ones drowning, do you really think people buy racing or RPg games just because of the consoles? I would prefer Pc or arcades

The gap is about 7 million now, so I don't think the PS3 will crush the 360 anyhow.

7 million? Last I checked it was 5.4. Anyway, unless Sony gets a miracle, don't see it happening in 2010 at all. Best bet is late 2011 in my opinion.

The gap is approximately 5.4 million. How about actually perusing the front page of the site, where the numbers are clearly shown, before spewing nonsense?



Also, I chose "No". If it even happens it will be in late 2011 or early 2012, notwithstanding how much I'd like it to as soon as possible.



This year? No way. Perhaps next year, it depends on a lot of things, there are way more variables this gen that in any other the way I see it.



Timing, supply and price of both NATAL and the valhalla 360s (slim or not) will determine how much MS increases the lead this year (which they will).

Success of NATAL will determine if Sony can close the gap, i.e. if NATAL matches the hype then the PS3 will never close the gap.



No and halo reach is the reason why. enough said. I don't think the ps3 will ever catch up to the 360. Maybe next gen.
