Playstation 3 likely to catch up with Xbox 360 by the end of 2010.

In Q4 2008, everything seemed to go right for the 360 and everything seemed to go wrong for the PS3. In that scenario, the 360 outsold the PS3 by 2 million units (actually only 1.875 million but I will round up). If we completely reverse the scenario, and the PS3 makes up 2 million units for Q4 2009 and 2010 then we still have 3.47 million units to go out of the current 7.47 million unit gap.

That leaves Sony 9 slow months to make up the other 3.47 million. That would require the PS3 to sell around 385,000 more units per month than the 360. This would be for the time period from Jan '10 to Sept '10.

I just don't see Microsoft allowing Sony to completely dominate two holiday seasons in a row. I also don't see the PS3 taking off like that month after month in the slow time of the year. The PS3 has not won a year against the 360 yet. This prediction just isn't going to come true.
