PS3 ALREADY HAS overtaken the 360 in active units.

The only reason the 360 "leads" is because of the red ring of death.

A year ago, the PS3 OFFICIALLY passed it in active units.


I wouldn't call this officially trolling, just *really* misinformed.

That said, continue trying to spread that false idea and next time it will be a warning/ban.

Assuming that 360 is going to outsell the PS3 by at least 1 million this quarter. Lets just say that the PS3 will then ship 1 million less this quarter than the 360. That puts the PS3 3 million behind shipment wise. You expect that the PS3 will out ship the 360 by 3 million between Jan 1 and June 30?

The won't ship 1 million more than PS3 this quarter... I expect the PS3 to tie or be over 360 shipment after 30 September 2012 (Q2 2012).

I must have missed the OFFICIAL announcement then.



Signature goes here!

I'd venture a guess but Seece will find a way to tease me about it if I do.

OK as for saying what quarter you shouldnt use Fiscal Quarter since different companies Fiscal Quarters are different. I assumed you meant calendar quarter.

OK now why would Sony ship more this quarter when it looks pretty clear that the 360 will outsell to consumers the PS3 by at least 1 million worldwide this quarter?  What retailers are simply going to say sure ship us more we will keep them in storage for you?

VGC sales from 2nd Oct 2011 to 12th Nov 2011.

360: 1,637,215
PS3: 1,799,564

The next three weeks combined:

360: 2,358,564
PS3: 1,677,057

Total sold in this quarter:

360: 3,995,779
PS3: 3,476,621

Diff:  519,158 (360 favor)

The PS3 is at least 150k undertracked in US (NPD data).

Diff:  369,158

So I can't see that 1 million difference in sales... the difference in PS3 and 360 last week was under 100k (without adjustments yet).

360 won't outsell PS3 by 1 million this quarter... I can't even see by 500k =).

The shipment difference will be lower than VGC sales difference... eg. 360 6.3 million / PS3 6.1 million (and I would not be surprised if Sony shipped more than Microsoft this quarter).

To be honest? Never. I am expecting the gap grow after the holidays to 4.5 million.
But, you know, some users yet think that the PS3 will be number 1 this gen, for achieve this mark, it need to suprass the Xbox 360.
