Some people are really underestimating the PS3.

exactly, lets look at what numonex said

Sales per week to reach 50 million console sales:
360 needs to sell on average 177,500 units per week for the next 80 weeks.
PS3 needs to sell on average 248,750 units per week for the next 80 weeks.

This is pretty much what it was selling at even before the holiday period, grand turismo release and final fantasy will help chew those bad boy numbers down too NOM NOM

but yes as you said sabby a lot of people are underestimating the ps3
everyone underestimated the slim sales
everyone underestimated black friday numbers
everyone doubted the slim would sell 1 million in one week
everyone doubted it would hit 30 million by the years end

Yeh, I know.

I think some people are forgetting that 2010 is going to have tons of software and PS3 will be on top when it comes to software. Look at MAG, it will be a hit in America, so will GoW3, GT5 will move over 700k first week and this game alone will guarantee that PS3 will always stay ahead in EU.

What I'm predicting is that PS3 will sell 4 million in its first four months, 4 million from May to August and 7 million in the last remaining months. Thats a total of 15+ million for the year while I think that 360 will only manage 11 million at best for the year. Though I believe we will see $150 Arcade and $250 Elite around September, but this really will only boost NA and UK by quite alot and otherwise PS3 will still be dominating in Japan and EU.

So I think the gap will only be 1 million by the end of 2010 and PS3 will overtake 360 no longer than June 2011. After that it'll be PS3 who reaches 50 million first.

But this is just my prediction and I think too many people think Natal will be the 360's saviour.
