Will the PS3 overtake the 360 before the end of 2010?

More likely 2011.

Even if PS3 outsells 360 by 70k each week like it did the most recent week, it would be 77 weeks before PS3 surpasses 360.

That's about October 2011 for you kids counting at home, and that's kind of a best case scenario. A 360 price drop could come out the same time as Natal which will throw things off as well as Halo Reach this year and Gears 3 early next year.

You don't take into account that during stronger sales periods, like Xmas, the gaps, no matter in favour of whom, widen, but even with every possible boost, it couldn't happen before 2011, I agree.

Good point. That would definitely make it less time before the PS3 outsells 360. I'm glad we agree it won't be before 2011 though.

PS3 would literally have to outell 360 by about 150k each week on average to outsell 360 by Dec 31, 2010.
