Not a chance.

you're overestimating the ability of a lot of games to sell systems, really. Unless Resistance 3 is a Uncharted-2 style dramatic leap in sequel awesomeness, it's not going to be a system seller, Versus XIII doesn't really have that capacity either. Similar issues with Killzone 3.

 

GT5, FFXIII (to a degree), and God of War 3 are really what they're relying on this year. Also Move, but that depends on a lot of things



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I think it will close in on the 360 in 2010, then with Sony putting out some new exclusives for Christmas it should overtake in early-mid 2011. Although I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to release a new console early again. So we could be seeing a new X-Box in 2012.



I play PC and PS3. The best of both worlds.

6 months after the nextbox is released, the PS3 will outsell the 360. So late 2011-2012.

I should probably list a bunch of games and say some "logic" here, but I'm still groggy this morning and I can only take so much bullshit. I give this thread a dumb/10.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

More likely 2011.  If Xbox360 does a big price drop then I am guessng mid-2011 when PS3 takes over the lead.  Sony got to beef up on PS3 production with their recent shortage problems the past few months

Impossible.

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.

Good point. That would definitely make it less time before the PS3 outsells 360. I'm glad we agree it won't be before 2011 though.

PS3 would literally have to outell 360 by about 150k each week on average to outsell 360 by Dec 31, 2010.

i dont see it happening anytime soon the ps3 has had a great 1st quarter but microsoft didnt release anything of note. so i say maybe christmas 2011 but all that depends on price point of the two consoles, how big natal is, how big move is, the games released for each. who knows maybe one of them will release a game like wii sports that explodes their sales it worked for nintendo
