I think it will happen you just going to have to wait a bit since it'll take ps3 about a year to catch up.I also think that the ps3 is doing really well being that high since it was overpriced (600$ come on launch price)the ps3 slim is seeing great number IMO

I couldn't disagree more. 8 million difference in total sales, 40k difference in weekly sales means 200 weeks until the PS3 catches up the 360 if all stays as it is, but obviously the PS3 will not be selling numbers worth tracking in 200 weeks time, and if the patterns of this generation repeat the 360 is going to have a price cut in September and start outselling the PS3 again, and then it will be the PS3's turn to be domed.

the gap is not 8 million!!! people irritate me so much, the 39 million figure is the amount of x360's made, there are only 37 million sold, which means the gamp is nearly 6 million at the moment. vgchartz only just updated their figures, you should know that is is more accurate right now, and tmmorrow ps3 data will be more accurate hopefully.

Sorry to irritate you through my laziness, I am aware that the gap is not 8 million but I couldn't be bothered going to the homepage to check exactly what the gap was (Im not on my own computer and it's really slow) At a gap of 6 million, it will still take 150 weeks at current weekly sales. Being as I am predicting that the 360 will start to outsell the PS3 again in September, I hardly think those 50 weeks matter.

sorry i am just upset from some silly comments made here thinking ps3 won't keep on selling well after this year. it already says in the thread that the silly sony exec was using sold ps3 amounts to shipped x360's, that is where all this silly 8 million gap theory is coming from, we all know ps3 sold 3m+ in december so it is impossible for it to ship less than at least 33m the prediction was for 35m shipped ps3's so those ps3 sales may yet get adjusted up, not down.
