This is much more telling actually as it shows how the consoles are trending now quite explicitly.

Respect to that graph too. It shows quite precisely that this is a crucial period for the PS3 in the battle. Again, if you look at the same point in the 360 cycle the pricecut had a huge effect on the 360's fortunes, and we are virtually down to the very same week. It will be fascinating to watch over the next couple of months.

Unlike many / most PS3 fans I am more than happy for PS3 to take the bronze. As long as they put in a solid performance. I'd use a cricket analogy here too, but I'm afraid it would be totally lost on most people on this site. But not lost on Squill right? These graphs are so like the worms we see for the ODIs while the run chase is on. Maybe we should use the Duckworth-Lewis system for figuring out what PS3's winning target is at whatever time one thinks the "match" will end. Trouble is the exact D-L formula is a well guarded secret, 90% of the formula can be found on the web, but those crucial missing elements are impossible to find.

Man, there is always a cricketing analogy. It's better than the analogy I used in my first post. Too bad hardly anyone gets it.

Hehe, well im going to be a bastard and say that Microsoft has Shane Bond at the peak of his form!

Its a very exciting little run chase to watch for us we lil spectators.

In any case, the problem for the PS3 is that it has fallen behind the Xbox 360 run rate at an equivelent point in time so the required run rate for victory within a set timeframe is increasing rapidly. Every month the PS3 is under that line increases the rate at which they have to sell because they are running out of time.
