Hooray for yet another chance to bring out troll.xls! (and I'm using last weeks numbers by the way, don't feel like putting in this weeks yet)
Here's the time it will take for the PS3 to catch up to the 360 assuming it starts outselling it tomorrow.
| Time for the PS3 to catch the 360 (in 100,000's) | |||
| Worldwide | America | Others | |
| Time(weeks) | Sales/Week | Sales/Week | Sales/Week |
| 4 | 1993 | 2193 | 1220 |
| 8 | 996 | 1096 | 610 |
| 16 | 498 | 548 | 305 |
| 24 | 332 | 365 | 203 |
| 52 | 153 | 169 | 94 |
| 78 | 102 | 112 | 63 |
| 104 | 77 | 84 | 47 |
| 130 | 61 | 67 | 38 |
| 156 | 51 | 56 | 31 |
| 182 | 44 | 48 | 27 |
| 208 | 38 | 42 | 23 |
| 234 | 34 | 37 | 21 |
| 260 | 31 | 34 | 19 |
If the PS3 is to catch the 360 in others in lets say three years, it will have to outsell the 360 by 31k per week every week for the next three years. It can be done but will it really matter in 2012/13?
