Will PS3 eventually pass 360?

Others have already touched on this, but I will reinforce those arguments.

When the PS3 was released last Novemeber, VGChartz shows that the 360 had sold approximately 5.3 million systems worldwide:

At this point in time, the 360 has sold 10.3 million, while the PS3 has sold 4.1 million:

In short, the 360 has actually pulled 800k systems farther ahead over the last 9 months. In addition, the list of games available on the 360 is larger and better received:

You can see here that the 360 has 16 "proven" franchises in this list, with the PS3 at 12. In addition, the 360 has 49 exclusives in development overall, while the PS3 has only 39.

Coupling these factors with a lower price point, I don't see what factors people are using to conclude that the PS3 will overtake the 360 any time soon. I'm not saying it's not possible, I just don't see the tangible evidence for it.

 

Bod makes some good points. Also what happens if the 360 garners enough attention from developers that they start to see really good Japanese games. If Namco or SE gives 360 some good games for Japan that could give the 360 a big enough boost to totally disrupt anything the PS3 is doing over there. It's bad enough the Wii has trashed all their plans of dominating Japan.
