PS3 will eventually outsell the X360 in every region of the world except for NA which will see the PS3 in front eventually in three to four years time. Japan and Europe the PS3 is heavily outselling X360.

 

Keep telling yourself that

 

In reality 360 still has a significant lead in Europe and worldwide. It is outselling PS3 in UK according to the latest chart track.

 

Given these new prices I'd now doubt Ps3 can overtake 360 in AU.

 

PS3 is a bomb in Japan, so that's pretty irrelevant.

360 has an insurmountable lead in the USA. There is now way PS3 can overtake it there. PS3 would have to outsell 360 by an average of 200k.month for the next 29 months in row to accomplish that, which would then happen in early 2011 if that occured Unfortunatly, PS3 is barely outselling 360 if at all currently.

360 will almost certainly finish the gen ahead of Ps3 in the USA.

 

Personally I think it will maintain worldwide sales lead also.

 

Only PS3 fanboys bring up 360's alledged hardware problems.

 

I would bet you were one of the people predicting that the Wii would not pass the 360 in NA until Christmas 08.... Sony still has alot of brand power in the US... it is just too expensive, and is still lacking that exclusive game that has major appeal... GTA was that for the PS2, but it is not exclusive. FFVII was that for the PSX, but now XIII is not exclusive(I do not think FF has the impact that it used to btw). Right now it looks like a whole lot is riding on GT5. ONE game M$ cannot buy.

Before you say it I might as well shoot it down. MGS is not a univerally appeally game. It is very hardcore in nature, and has been as long as I can remember.
