Is the PS3 selling badly? Why do you think it is/isn't?

Total sales as of Dec 31 2006:
360: 7,820,120
PS3: 1,233,394

Total sales as of Aug 19 2007:
360: 10,510,895
PS3: 4,318,017

Total sales BETWEEN Jan 1 2007 and Aug 19 2007:
360: 2,690,775
PS3: 3,084,623

The 360 is leading by over 6 million units. The PS3 selling only 400k more units over a nine month period isn't really going to do all that much. At this rate of 400k/9mo it would take eleven years for the PS3 to surpass the 360.

 

Final-Fan: You're right about the "let alone" part, my mind must be wandering, heh.

If the PS3 had a 20K lead per week every week, it would take 310 weeks to make up the difference. That's nearly six years.

 It also needs to be said that the 400,000 extra PS3's were largely due to the PS3's large launch in Europe.
