If we assume the 360 continues to sell at the rate they are, the increase in sales the PS3 would need, and keep consistent, in order to cross them by a certain date is: January 1, 2008: (21 weeks) 280.6% increase (near quadruple) April 1, 2008: (34 weeks) 176.1% increase (near triple) July 1, 2008: (47 weeks) 129.4% increase October 1, 2008: (60 weeks) 102.9% increase (more than double) January 1, 2009: (73 weeks) 85.9% increase April 1, 2009: (86 weeks) 74.0% increase July 1, 2009: (98 weeks) 65.8% increase October 1, 2009: (112 weeks) 58.5% increase January 1, 2010: (124 weeks) 53.5% increase Even with a 50% sustained increase, worldwide, of the PS3's current sales, even if the 360 sells at its current rate and NEVER sees a sales increase, it would take until sometime in 2010 for the PS3 to catch up. |
Wow ,you sure are BAD at mathematics arent you ?
Look ,the PS3 is already beating the 360 worlwide with a small price drop ONLY in NA and some packs in Europe.So even at the current rate and without changes in both it would one day pass the 360 .Once the PS3 lowers its price in Japan and Europe it will double its sales there so it will sell like 40K weekly in Japan and 75K in Europe .Even if it was lower ,say 30K in Japan and 65K in Europe ,that would still put the PS3 at some 125-130K weekly worldwide for some 50-60K units for the 360 .Each month the ww difference would be drained some quarter million and that without having in count the special holidays season or the big game releases as FF or MGSIV .
