From Sep-Dec 2009, the PS3 outsold the 360 WW around about 2,167,000 units. Both of the increases were after pricecuts that the other didn't have. That's the only point that I was making. They are EXTREMELY comparable. Holiday 2008's 360 performance didn't doom the PS3, so why would this one doom the 360? It doesn't make sense. These numbers reflect the trend of a price cut, not some major change in the market. |
I have slightly different numbers:
30 August 2008- 3 January 2009
PS3: 4.6 Mil
X360: 6.7 Mil
Dif: 2.1 for 360
29 August 2009- 2 January 2010
Ps3: 8.3 mil
X360: 5.6 Mil
Dif: 2.7 for Ps3
I never said the Xbox is doomed. But the whole situation is different and not comparable. PS3 has had a bigger peak year so even if it falls it would still outsell X360. And as I said 360 already peaked it was more then a year in decline and the little data we have shows it goes on.
But there are many factors which can influence the situation PS3 wasnt doomed after 360 outsold it and 360 is not doomed after PS3 outsold it. But there is a strong possibility that Ps3 will outsell the 360 in the next 18 months. And this can happen without doing miracles and even when the pace is slower then now.
But who cares we will see what will happen. I wouldnt be pissed if the PS3 would not sell more Hardware then 360 but I am still confident it will happen I always said it even when it looked bad for PS3 so I stick with my opinion.
