Forums - Sales Discussion - 3 months of Steadily Outselling 360/ When will PS3>360? My Estimate Here...

For 3 months now, the PS3 has been outselling the 360 at a steady significant rate, but how much closer is this bringing the PS3 to reaching the 360? Well, 3 months ago, the breakdown of console sales (PS3 vs. 360) went something like this:

Total Sales: Date:
360..................16 103 506..................December 30th 2007
PS3 ...................8 862 880..................December 30th 2007
(The PS3 was behind by: 7 240 626)

Now, 3 months later, it looks like this:

Total Sales: Date:
360..................17 979 408..................March 30th 2007
PS3 .................11 412 449..................March 30th 2007
(The PS3 is now behind by: 6 566 959)

During the last 3 months, the PS3 has jumped 673 667 units closer to catching the 360, now only behind by
6 566 959, and it’s easy to see that each week the PS3 is closing that gap faster and faster.

Something else many people have been speculating on is when exactly will the PS3>360 in regards to worldwide sales. Here’s the closest accurate estimate I’m making right now...

If we look past and major changes in the market and exclude Holidays, the very latest date that the PS3 will outsell the 360 worldwide in total sales would be the week of July 06, 2010 . Take that with a grain of salt, because Holidays, Fluctuations in the market, and many other things can affect this number, but I am 90% sure it will take no longer then 29 months. (July 06, 2010)

Thanks for reading!

Interesting, although many have suggested that the nextbox will be out in 2010-2011, so winning that late would be disappointing to some. Personally I'll just be happy if Sony gets to second at all this Gen, but I guess I"m just a pessimist. Thanks for the analysis.



...

It is tough to say, could be as early as mid 2009 if PS3 picks up steam. Could be as late as 2011 if Xbox 360 gets a big price cut in the US soon and reduces the PS3 sales gap. I think we will have a much better idea after we see how GTA4 effects both systems. Do the casuals buy PS3 because they are loyal sony fans from last generation or do the casuals buy an Xbox 360 because it is the cheapest console to play GTA4 on.

 Lol...I was going to go all sarcastic on him just like that, but I got lazy.

 Heck I thought about reporting him, but I don't think that being off topic and not contributing is against any rules.



...

If the PS3 can keep this momentum up through the holiday period, I'd say it is possible in early '09.

Sorry, it was more directed at the sony fanboy that first responded, not at you....

I'm all for this kind of thread every 3 months or so but they crop every EVERY week...
