"In fact, even if you doubled the current PS3 sales and Xbox 360 remained flat, they couldn’t close the gap until 2014."
Hmm, I shall put this claim to the test. Just considering that sentence, it implies worldwide. Considering that it comes right after the sentance talking about US lead, he could mean that.
Assuming that last weeks numbers are indicative of the 'HD battle' (Wii numbers are always weird in Jan, but PS360 should be fine)
Worldwide lead = 7.94 million
Worldwide weekly sales gap if you double the PS3 sales = 0.144507 million
Number of weeks for PS3 to get ahead = 55
Year PS3 would overtake the 360 = 2010
Perhaps not worldwide then
assumption, USA = 0.9*Americas
USA lead = 7.533 million
USA sales gap if you double the PS3 sales =0.083655
Number of weeks for PS3 to get ahead = 90
Year PS3 would overtake the 360 = 2010 (week 41)
Can anyone see what's wrong? Did I mess up my maths? Was my assumption that 1 weeks sales were valid actually not a fair assumption? is Aaron Greenerg wrong/lying?
