I would say the minimum gap would be about 7,000,000 units and the maximum would be about 14,000,000 units.

 

This.

Well that would mean you expect the 360 to increase its gap to 14 million and the PS3 to outsell the 360 by 7 million in the second half of 2009?

 

I dont expect the gap to drop at all. There will be the odd couple of weeks during big games though. The momentum is with M$. Game stores here have already cut PS3 room to 2 sections in my City, 360 has 8 now generally and the Wii 13 at last visit on Jan 02nd.

 

I'd personally expect the gap to decrease to 6 million units as this is the PS3's third full year on the market and the Xbox360 should see a slower year next year. It's just the huge difference for me. You know, this year the gap didn't change that much. It was at 7 million at the beginning of the year, then decreased and is now at 8 million.

 

Dont forget the gap was 7 mill to start 2008 after the figures were changed in Jan as we undertracked badly. I have a feeling the gap is more like 8.5 - 9 mill right now. We will have to see when the figures are changed.

PS3 price cut last year made tracking hard through christmas and I believe the same will happen with 360. Wait for the figures to be updated via NPD and such.
