- 45% steady sales increase YoY (PS3 sales Sep-Dec 2009 compared to Sep-Dec 2008)
- 11.5-12 million PS3s sold in 2009
- Gap to X360 decreased down to 6.5 million at end of year 2009.

- The MS counter in Sept with $20/$50 price drop on X360 to $179 and $249 will not be enough, why PS3 closes the gap by end of 2011, leaving X360 in third place this generation.

This generation is hereby decided.

1. Wii
2. PS3
3. X360

You can quote me on this.

Your first two points are a contradiction. A 45 % increase would put the PS3 to about 6.3m for Sep-Dec 2009. This combined with the sales of the first eight months of 2009 bring the total for the year to just below 11m, not the 11.5-12m you stated.

You were proven wrong within ten minutes.

lol Adjustments my friend, adjustments. If PS3 is undertracked by 500K in Jan-Aug the total will become 11.3 mill, which rounded up is 11.5 mill.
