At a rate of 83,727 per week, it would take the PS3 89 weeks to overtake the 360. So basically Mid 2011. Assuming that the PS3 can continue their strong performance in Europe/Others and Japan while MS just sits by idly and allows it to happen. We'll have to see if they can keep it up. You'd have to assume that Sony would pick up the pace even more to claim 2nd by the end of 2010. Another PS3 slim price cut won't happen for awhile and at this point further exclusive software isn't going to make a big impact on hardware sales. Except maybe FFXIII and Dragon Quest X (since the Japanese love those series). We're so far into the generation that I'd be surprised if you think what's available now isn't enough to entice you. At this stage, each big name title will cause a small spike but that's about it. |
its likely it wont be 85K every week.. Also microsoft clearly IS NOT standing by letting themselves get outsold, look at the 250gb MWF2 bundle, the 250GB HALO bundle.. and ofcourse the $299 360 elite WITH 2 GAMES. Im sure if they keep getting outsold we may even say a $179 or 149 arcade on the market.. I think the 360 is selling about as well as the ps3 in the U.S in terms of consumer sales, but I sense that alot of those sales are coming from the USED market.. the 360 is $139 used at gamestop, im sure many consumers are getting that over the 199 arcade..
