Kowen I don't think your method makes sense because it doesn't show Holiday sales. So pretty much all those "per month" figures should be lower for non-holiday. The OP's method makes more sense to me.

Lol those ARE the numbers.  He even broke it down in different periods to specifically highlight the holiday advantage and it would still take 1.34 years of the PS3 holiday rush numbers to overtake the 360.  If you are saying it should be lower for non-holiday then what you are saying is that it would take even LONGER than Kowenicki's calculations for the PS3 to catch up.

I don't think you understood my post at all..... What I'm trying to say is that:

 

While it might take the same time [whatever years it might be] The monthly average should be lower for every non-holiday month and higher for Holiday months. I'll give you an example:

124,067 per month to catch it by Jan 2014.

Should be more like 60,000 per month [non holiday] and idk.... 400,000 on holiday months. Now I didn't do any of the math but kowens method makes it seem like the ps3 needs to outsell 360 by 124k every month to catch up to it in 4 years. Thats exactly what he's saying but the ps3 can be outselling the 360 by 90k every month and still be able to catch up by idk...2012 [once holiday months are included]
