Forums - Sales - PS3 and 360 difference is 2.07m in shipments, can PS3 overtake 360 by Dec. 31, 2011? (Read OP for rules)

 

PS3 to pass 360 this holiday quarter?

Yes 99 37.79%
 
No 163 62.21%
 
Total:262

So the difference is now 2.07m in shipments.  This quarter, PS3 shipped 1.4m more than the 360.  So can PS3 ship 2.07 m more than 360 this holiday?

 

Rules:  This is only to discuss the SHIPMENT numbers.  Please do not derail the thread with topics like profits and finances or shipped vs sold.  Make your own thread for that.  I will report anyone who does.

 

Saying something like "MS is in a financial position to be able to cut the price" is okay.  Something like "Well, at least MS is making profit while Sony is losing" isn't.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

No. Panic pricecut from Microsoft incoming.

i hope it,i just need a 360S



how much did sony sell?



If MS doesn't cut the price, I think they can swing it. If they do cut the price (which they probably will after these results), then I think they can.

it's pretty funny if MS don't do anything



I doubt they can pass the 360 by the end of the year, but they'll probably close the gap a bit more.  They need to sell at least 7 million next quarter if they want to realistically hit 15 million for the fiscal year.  (that's assuming nothing major changes in terms of price/bundles/etc.)



No. I expect shipments will be pretty close, SONY will ship around 6.5million and Microsoft is likely to ship ~6 million units as well.



nope,will miss it

but will be very near



wont happen this year.. No chance.. 2,04 is a massive difference..
