You know I have already had Sony fanboys claim to me the PS3 overtook the 360 at the end of September because Sony said so :P. Shipped units equals sold units you know lol. Seriously, if the PS3 gets a price cut to $199 then it might overtake 360 by the time the new consoles come out.

Thing that I've noticed though, is that everytime ps3 gets a price cut, 360 does the same 2 weeks to a month later.

I think the PS3 can definitely overtake the 360 somewhere in the second half of 2013. Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia, The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, Dust 514, Final Fantasy XIV, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, and Puppeteer. The PS3 has a super strong (and diverse, most importantly) 2013 lineup. These games will definitely help sell a lot of PS3's. And if Final Fantasy Versus XIII, The Last Guardian, and Tales of Xillia 2 come out late 2013, the PS3 will be ahead for good.

Versus XIII in 2013? How sure are you on that? And The Last Guardian? other than those two yes i agree PS3 has a strong lineup for 2013. Also if Versus XIII does come out in 2013 I will cry tears of joy. 


Hence why I said "if," and that's a huge "if" right there. And yes, the day Versus XIII comes out is the day that my RPG hunger will be finally satisfied.



Actually PS3 has already past 360. You know about 360 failure rate right ?

But if you are talking about total numbers. The 2 million lead 360 has is fading away. Rather than going past 360. Their target is probably 120 million. I see PS3 selling good for next 5yrs TBH. I can see another slim version in 2 yrs with 1 TB. PS3 has lots of potential and great catalog of games in every genre.



 

2013 temp, gain and keep 2014 after the next/now current gen consoles are out.

ok I'm a big time Sony fan and think PS3 could end up winning this gen eventually, but that predicition is absolutely ridiculous.  They could reach 105 million (what I think) and barely edge out Wii, but 120 million?  Absolutly not going to happen.  Another redesign won't do much in 2 years with other consoles out.  They will reach 100 million through the magical $199 price and a bevy of exclusives early next year, plus probably 2 big ones after PS4 releases this fall, and finally the $150 price, but they would have to almost sell at the same pace as their first 6 years in the next 6 years to reach that number which just isn't feasible.  Even PS2 only sold about %50 of its total (104 million) after the next gen started so I see PS3 doing about those same numbers.  If it's at 75 million when PS4 launches that means about 37.5 million throughout the years (optimistically considering PS2 didn't really have competitors left) so 112.5 million even if it sells like PS2 did after next gen.  The only way it could sell what you say is if 360 and Wii were discontinued and they got it down to $99 in a couple years and even then it might be too irrelevant to get the games PS2 did after the next gen was out.

But as the minority of PS fans crack open the champaigne...the Xbox guys will be cheering on the next gen Xbox beating the PS4

The cycle begins anew :)
