Nay.

I just looked at the charts: the release of the original Halo 3 made XB360 WW sales reach 228k from 164k the week before.
It was the end of September 2007, shortly after, at the beginning of December 2007, PS3 started outselling XB360 almost continuously until the end of July 2008. PS3 outsold it another 2 weeks in August, with MGS4, IIRC, then with September 2008 price cut XB360 started outselling PS3 almost continuously until September 2009 price cut for both, when it started happening what we are seeing.
So Halo 3 moved 64k WW first week, a 39% increase, it's quite difficult that ODST achieve the same result, but thanks to Wii cut announced for the week after, it could at least outsell it.

Nope.

Even ioi himself said ODST won't move much hardware.

The PS3 is doing great atm, and come Christmas time I think the PS3 will make up a ton of ground on the 360.

I predict the gap will be anywhere between 4-5M by Jan 2010

X360 will be up by 10% I think, PS3 will be down by 10-15% so we get about

X360: 170k
PS3: 220k

I think that may be the best case scenario for the PS3 this Holiday.

I think the gap will shrink anywhere  to 5-6 million by January.

This time next year however, the gap will shrink even more to what you predicted (4 - 5 million).

No.

With 1.110.000 PS3´s sold in just 19 days, PS3 is on fire.

The rest of the year belongs to PS3.

no.

ps3= 200.000-210.000
360= 160.000-170.000

30.000-50.000 gap

starcraft, come on dude, you're smarter than that. Are you going to push Gran Turismo 5, MAG and God of War III away just like that for the Jan-March period (Especially GT5 and GoWIII)?

@Halo_Reach: Reported.

NO WAY,,, since the slim hit 299 its been kicking the 360s butt.
there is more hype for the slim at 299 then the elite is at 299.
plus the PS3 slim does everything and the elite dont
