Will the PS3 overtake the 360 before the end of 2010?

Yes it will!!! 90 14.15%
 
No it will not!!! 268 42.14%
 
Maybe. But more likely in 2011. 244 38.36%
 
Candy!!! 33 5.19%
 
Total:635

If the 360 has a slim version come out later this year which is probably going to happen, along with a price cut, plus halo reach coming out this year, highly unlikely it will happen.

No chance!



possibly 2011, 2010 is too early



eventually 2011.

Halo reach wont be a huge systemseller. It will sell ofcourse a lot of units.

Gt5 on the other hand will be a systemseller (zelda wii could be another one because is the first real Wii Zelda)

And natal needs the right software. I dont believe that it will have the right software this christmas. (It needs time to figure out what you can do with it.)

Move is simpler to develop for the system is well known (wii). Natal on the other hand is new and we have seen that without buttons controlling a game is actually hard so developers have to find ways making controls still good. Molyneaux said that its not easy to develop for Natal mainly because of no buttons.

Xbox peaked already in 2008 if its going to peak this year it would be pretty big. But even then Xbox would have to sell 20% more in 2010 then in its previous best year (every week) which is not the case so far. And PS3 will beat 2009 this year.

A Slim Xbox and a pricecut is the only chance I see for MS to stop the PS3 a little.

Christmas will be big if PS3 manages to sell again 2 Million more then 360 in the last quarter then the gap would be down to 3 Million. If MS will change the trend and somehow catch up the deficits this year (to PS3 2009). And PS3 will sell not better at christmas 2010 then the gap could be just 4-4.5 Million after this year.

A big pricecut for 360 (100 Dollar) and a Slim plus natal beeing decent, could change everything. Even though I think Sony is prepared for such a case and will offer also a Pricecut (if neccessary).



Atleast in shipped numbers, YES.
PS3 will be ahead.

People underestimate GT5 selling power.

PS3 is less than 5 million behind the 360. PS3 should overtake the 360 before the end of the year.

May 22 to Oct 31 = PS3 will outsell the 360 by 1.5 million console systems. Move will have an impact and boost PS3 sales. Average around 70k more PS3s sold than 360 over 22 weeks.

Gap reduced to below 3.5 million

Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 = PS3 will outsell the 360 during the Xmas Period by a staggering 3.5 million: Black Friday Week boost, Final Fantasy Versus XIII laucnh in Japan and Gran Turismo 5 launch in November will see a huge boost in PS3 sales.

PS3 in front of the 360 by 100k on Dec. 31, 2010. PS3 = 45.1 million. 360 = 45 million



No, Microsoft will not leave this happen. Plus PS3 without a price cut is gonna selling worse than last year in the last 3 months, so will loose a lot of the YoY gain it has.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

i say no. if i use current gamers prediction for this site it would come close, but equal or average out, but not pass 360 in sells. based on some analyst predicting 360 will sell 10m for the yr. and PS3 will sell 14m for the yr. then the diff will come out to be:

PS3 44m
360 45m

so it will be close. (if i did it right)

srry if i misspelled anything.



Not in 2010.

Maybe in 2012 and that's if everything goes right for Sony and everything goes wrong for Microsoft. In other words, that's probably not likely either.

4.9 million and closing down very quickly. Gran turismo 5 launch and a long list of PS3 games. Holiday sales boost and Black Friday boosts. PS Move. PS3 may well edge out the 360 before the end of 2010 in total sales.

The 360 price cuts will have little or no impact on the 360 sales.  Halo again will have no impact on sales whatsoever.
