If VGcharts show that the 360 has increased its lead by say 500k to 1m after christmas...
It will then be reflected on Microsoft and Sony's data as well.
What will you say then?
The same as I have been saying the last couple of years. Wait for Final Fantasy and a slimline console for the PS3 to really take off in Japan. A ~6 million lead is well less than a year worth of sales for the PS1, PS2 and also PS3. The 360 headstart ranges from 1 year to a couple of years depending on the region.
Like I said in the past I believe 2008 will be the last really good 360 sales year, for a variety of reasons.
The PS2 sold over 28 million units to retail the last two reported fiscal year results.
