BTW - the ps3 is doing better than the 360 did last year and the 360 is doing worse than the ps3 last year

 

 That is true but 360 has had a significant increase year of year while sony is decreasing slightly, but what really matters is the gap between PS3 and 360, which is widening not closing.

oh noes... a console who has been the same price for a year and a half is down yoy and a console that just got a price cut is up. oh dear me. whatever shall i do? (just wait till sep 360 will start being dow yoy too) anyway... at the current rate it will take 100000 weeks for 360 to increase their lead to 8.5 million

Actually, the 360 is still doing just slightly better than the PS3 last year, however that's most certainly going to change in the coming months with nothing on the horizon to raise 360 sales while the PS3 had GTAIV in April and MGS4 in June last year.

 Ok my fault, I didn't realize the numbers where adjusted, but so far this year the PS3 has only meagerly outstold the 360 for 2 weeks in a row, and for the month of March 360 still outsold the PS3 by 30K worldwide, a small number I know, but the point is that the 360 still outsold the PS3 worldwide for the month.

.........and remember this is the slow part of the year console sales always pick up at the end of the year, and at 199, 360 will make a killing this holiday season.

 



sieh - '09 pse for the 12 weeks of the year - 2.17 million (jan 10 to present)

360 - 1.6 million. (jan 12 to april 5th)

ps3 is slaughtering 360's 08 sales so far

Right, but is that really a victory? When your product is less than half the price of your competetor who, as you pointed out, is down YOY and you are only outselling them by a negligible amount, that's not particularly great.

 



wow im tired... this time last year ps3 was selling 180k weekly. 360 had a stronger 1st couple of weeks apparently but it shouldnt be long till it negates those. even without those launches
