PS3 holds all the aces up its sleeve.

If my math is correct, for SONY to even catch up to and draw even with Microsoft in the next 24 months, they'd need to sell ~$79k more PS3s than 360 per week.

That's aggressive.

And that's only if Microsoft were to not sell another 360 over those 24 months.

 

If the Xbox 360 outsells the PS3 for the next 18 weeks till the 1st of September, which is usually when end of year price cuts start to happen by the usual 25k per week then the Xbox 360 will extend its lead to 8.63M and the average for the remaining 86 weeks required will be exactly 100K extra the PS3 must sell over the Xbox 360. To put that into balance, the PS3 would then have to sell 16M units in a single year when the Xbox 360 only sold 10M for example.
