Somebody up for a bet? I say, combined sales from next week until first january week of the PS3 will be bigger than 360 (WW)

I'd gladly take that bet. The PS3 will be lucky to have a single week from now until January 1 where it outsells the Xbox 360 world wide.

I'm taliking about combined of the rest of the year, starting next week. what do you want for the wager?

 

I take that bet... PS3 WW sales (Starting next week, until january 1) will not be bigger than xbox 360 WW sales...

I'd be up for that bet as well.

The 360 will continue to outperform the PS3 in the US - sales in Europe are effectively deadlocked - and the 360 has picked up unexpected ground in Japan.

The final nail(s) in the coffin with be continued strong sales of Guitar Hero, the launch of Assassins Creed (360 doing a lot better) - and then to top things off - Mass Effect.

The PS3 will pull back some ground in the US in the coming weeks - but it won't be sustained, and the 360 will continue to outperform.

...

Sony's best chance for a surprise, is for PS3 sales to jump to 80k-100k this coming week in Japan - and stay high throughout the holidays.
