The math is grim for PS3, in reference to a second place standing. There's no way it could do it before the next gen begins. Look at how it has to sell:

The PS3 will need to remain @ 210,000+ levels while the 360 needs to stay South of 150,000. You see that happening for long periods of time?

I wouldn't say its grim.

It is trending above 360, it's the 3rd fastest selling console of all time (for now) and even if the next gen begins, if it comes 2nd... It is still 2nd place.

If sales are like this...
360- 50,000,000
PS3- 49,999,999
And then suddenly the next Xbox releases with 360 being taken from the market, PS3 would still overtake and be in 2nd when all is said and done.

Here we go again Carl........

49,000,000 vs 50,000,000? Is it REALLY an issue at that point? I know, I know, a win is a win. But think about that for a sec, the PS2 (if it were a person) would be laughing HARD at the PS3. To be that close to the Xbox, after literally destroying it last gen, is a victory for the Xbox IMO.


It'd be a pathetic loss for the 360... MS had pulled out all the stops to outsell the Ps3 this gen. Rushed the 360 and released a year earlier. Spent 1 billion on RRoD instead of recalling. Secured tons of exclusive JRPG to attack the Ps3's home turf. Secured big 3rd party multiplat exclusiive DLC... all for what? To get beat yet again. No denying they've came a long way conpared to last gen but losing after the effort the put forth would be a major blow. And comparing the Ps3 to the Ps2 just really isnt that fair. For the first time EVER there are three viable options on the market. Ps3 wont achieve the same success as the Ps2 but not many other console have sold as much as the Ps3 will and no console so far has sold as much as the Ps2.
