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?

Uhm, weird math? By the charts I see that the 360 has about 1.3M over the PS3 in Others.

If we consider three years then 1.3M/156 weeks=8.3K sales per week the PS3 needs to outsell the 360.

Or in other words, by outselling the 360 by 31k per week, won't that mean that the gap would be closed in about 1.3M/31k=42 weeks?
