It's that time of the year people sales are going to exploded over the next couple months and those boring summer sales are now over! Many big games have yet to release (including Halo 4 numbers) and we may even see some record setting numbers this holiday. This thread is dedicated solely for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and how close the sales gap will get within the next two months. A lot can happen in the next 10 weeks, the PS3 could close the gap completely or the Xbox 360 could even double the gap. I'll be starting witht the sales ending November 3rd 2012 and finishing on the week ending January 5th 2013, that's 10 weeks.
Feel free to make a total prediciton of what the gap will be by the end of January 5th.

I'll update the list weekly, if I can ever figure some of this out I'll create some graphs as well. Should be another interesting holiday guys!
I'll usually wait a day or two after Worldwide sales are released incase of adjustments, I'm expecting some big adjustments aswell from the NDP numbers so I may have to change what's there, unless they were already changed.

I know its hard for you to see PS3 leading every week of the year until these period comes :P

Truly it is. But when in doubt I look at the Vgchartz homepage and see that glorious bar graph. And all becomes right in the world

You know if that doesn't pan out you will need to invent a new word for the expression your face will have....Sandger...Frustrapointment...Hatempt...well, I'll help you come up with something in case it happens.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Looks like sales will be far lower this year in USA than they were last year. Bodes well for PS3 in this battle, although it won't win this period.
