If the 360 comes in 3rd (which it probably will) it's going to take a long time, and be close. Even if the PS3 outsells the 360 by 50-100k (100k is high end, and probably won't happen regularly for a while if at all) a week, that's going to be how many weeks? Completely rough estimation (I don't feel like doing math right now), it's 6 mil behind, which puts it at 60-120 weeks. Two years it can catch up. Just over a year is unrealistic, so say in a year and a half to two years it will catch up. Hardly a devastating defeat. At the end of the gen, the two will be very close and 3rd place will seem meaningless.

 Ahh so in September through December the split will continue to be 50-100,000 a week? Or in June it will only be 100,000? If every month of the year was May then you would be right, but numbers get bigger during bigger sales periods. You have to do it by percentage not by the average difference right now. Your whole analysis is absolutely pointless.

That depends entirely upon if the weekly sales gap between the two remains roughly the same. If it does, then neither console is going anywhere (there will be no early drop out consoles this generation). Based upon the upcoming exclusives for the PS3, my gut tells me Sony will track higher in register receipts this holiday season than MS.

But even if the weekly sales gap widens, the 360 will still stay on the market as long as the MS gaming division continues to stay profitable. With software generated revenue and a consistent, good attach rate, MS is not leaving this growth industry any time soon.

Here we go. Same pattern. Impending doom reports of 360 because PS3 outsold by 0.026m in NA. And then software wipes out PS3. ;)

 Wow, back off. Its not like he tried to predict the date very specifically. He had a 60 week range and it will probably fall in that range.

If MS can survive the RRoD debacle and STILL stay profitable, there is no "doom" scenario for the 360. The user base is already large enough to support profits just based upon licensing fees generated by soft sales.  At this point, PS3 hardware sales have virtually nothing to do with that.

But, that's not going to stop people from jumping to conclusions at every minor sales figure. Right? lol

Remember that the difference between the two grows exponentially over the holidays. The 360 sold ~2 million in December of last year alone, and it's currently selling better this year than last. If the ps3 outsells the 360 by ~30% each week, then the ps3 should (in theory) sell 600k+ more than the 360 in December of this year alone.

And MGS4, GT5, and FFXIII will help push things along throughout '08 and '09. :)

This gen has been an interesting one so far, being the first one I've paid attention to fully. Can't wait to see how things turn out.

 I didn't say whether his date is off or not. Im saying that him predicting how long it will take the PS3 to catch the 360 by using numbers from May is wrong. And he said just over a year was "unrealistic". Would you consider 60 weeks just over a year? Either way what hes saying isn't true, but good job trying to defend him. I could have been a bit nicer.
