| Videogirl said: If the trend continues at the end of the year the gap between PS3 and 360 will fall under 5 million, at the end of march Xbox will only lead by 3 million console, so yeah Sony's strategy is a good one. |
Your math misleads you.
At the end of the year if no fluctuation in the trends happens the lead will be ~6.4 Million still. Then if it still continues on through March with no change, the lead would be ~5.4 Million still.
And that's completely disregarding the fact that in the Holiday months, price is a bigger factor and it is in these holiday months that the Arcade 360 sales will skyrocket in US and Others. So the gap may decrease even slowly than the current trend once December hits. Then after March and sales start to die down for the summer, the sales gap will decrease even slower. If MS does nothing at all until the Fall of 2010 I bet there lead would still be ~4 million or more, and that's being very generous and taking into account a few weeks of hardware bumps from GT5.
