PS3 has outsold the 360 in the US quite a few months this year. You better believe MS will do all they can to maintain there lead here. Now at half the price and a "better" game lineup it's only outselling the PS3 by 20k units per week? And that's using VG chartz numbers.

 

Over the last months the 360 has recovered over a quarter million units and the worldwide gap is now sitting at 5.8M. Just sayin'.

 

Yeah but they are still dow by like a million for the year using NPD.

 

Sure, but the trend has been reversed. Which means there's no guarantee the ps3 will ever claim 2nd place. 5.8M units are a lot.

 

This holiday season will be the deciding factor. If PS3 outsells or breaks even with 360 then yup PS3 will win the HD console war for sure.

 

Not really. Last christmas the ps3 outsold the 360, yet here we are with a 10-week streak for the 360.

Right now, the ps3 won't claim 2nd place in 2008. Neither it will in 2009. The sooner it might happen is 2010 and as we've recently seen there are factors that can swing the pendulum thus furthering the timeframe of a takeover. At this point, the ps3 ending in 2nd place is still something that is not guaranteed to happen.
