It's always up on this graph at least until Sony cuts the price, which looks to be quite late in 2009...

 

Its very telling that the gap between the two has been bigger :P

It doesn't seem that long ago that the Sony fans were taunting the MS fans about how quickly the PS3 would overtake the 360 - how things change so quickly...

Next year is now the final key to this generation. If MS have pull off a solid win, and extend their lead by another 1-2m (or even keep level) - I have to say its over for the PS3, and Sony might have to terminate their plans early (and have a rethink).

All the cards are in Sony's deck now - to strike back, and strike hard. Its all or nothing for the next 12 months - starting around March/April...

...

The PS2 drop in sales is not surprising, but won't please Sony. I doubt it will make their forecast at this rate.

PSP is more worrying. At the start of this fiscal period, the PSP was the one I identified as being the most risky for hitting fiscal shipment targets. I haven't done the math, but I suspect they are starting to drop behind the eight-ball on them.

They are roughly doing 1m PSP (WW) per month outside of Xmas - and should do about 2-2.5m this month. What was their fiscal target again? (20m or something?)
