Sales - 360/PS3 Gap in 2010 - View Post

Of course this is just VGC numbers.

If we use just NPD figures from last 2 months as a sample of Data 360 outsold PS3 by 120k, or 60k a month. And over 300k in the past 5 months. A time when it had its price cut and holiday.
The question is who do you believe? VGC who have according to NPD have under-tracked 360 6 of the last 7 months or NPD?
If we take NPDs average of 360 outselling PS3 by around 15k-20k a week and put that average into the WW charts would see the gap in 2010 be just 160k.

Point being you got basically 2 sets of data to choose from. 1 which is basically saying 360 is selling strong (having been the top selling console last month) and one which says 360 is doing average and is currently 3rd.

Me personally i think PS3 has not really closed the gap as much as i expected it to. For me March represents its most important month this year as after that all the hype games will be out. Beyond that all it has is GT5. A game that in my opinion again will be delayed until either holidays or next year.
