| DevilMadeWires said: Alot of people have been saying that it is impossible for the PS3 to outsell the 360 in terms of overall sales, and that it would require the PS3 to sell 77k a week more than the 360 to gain a lead in 2 years. I think that PS3 doesn't need to outsell by 77k a week but rather the 360 will just start to sell less and less units until that difference is made. With a price cut for PS3 and gran turismo 5 i think that PS3 will be able to maintain 150k+ a week while 360 might go sub 100k I also don't see the overall lifetime sales of 360 exceeding PS3 as new xbox may kill 360.

It doesn't matter if the PS3 starts selling more on average or if the X360 starts selling less on average. The fact remains the sales difference per week needs to average 77k units for PS3 to overtake X360 in 2 years.
Here is how the math works. You subtract the PS3 total from the X360 total to get the curent sales gap. You divide this number by the total number of weeks in question (in this case 104 weeks - 2 years). This gives you the required average weekly difference that is required.
Again it doesn't matter which console gains or falls, it's the sales difference per week that is important.
