not sure what you mean by "current rate" of sales....?

For PS3 to overtake 360, PS3 will need to outsell 360 by:           
                     
670,960 per month to catch it by Jan 2011. 154,837 per week, on average every week.  
268,384 per month to catch it by Jan 2012. 61,935 per week, on average every week.  
167,740 per month to catch it by Jan 2013. 38,709 per week, on average every week.  
121,993 per month to catch it by Jan 2014. 28,152 per week, on average every week.  
                     
Current rate is:  260,458 p/m on average for the last 12 months. 1.76 years to catch at this rate
    319,133 p/m on average for the last 6 months. 1.44 years to catch at this rate
    163,314 p/m on average for the last 3 months. 2.80 years to catch at this rate
                     

Please note that these figures are slighlty off as they dont include a full month for April...    i.e. it is only 2 1/2 months worth of sales and not 3,  5 1/2 and not 6,  11 1/2 and not 12 in the current rate part. 

 


the PS3 sold 400K per month over the XMAS holidays from mid oct onward, also keep in mind that the PS3 has basically outsold the 360 already considering the higher SW totals.      

 

Software is how the console makers make the profit so the PS3 selling more games when it has a 5 million hardware deficit shows how much more the market views the PS3 instead of the 360.   The PS3 domination is starting over the 360 and it aint gonna stop.   The PS3 could be beating the wii in a couple of years as well week to week which would be amazing considering that it was supposed to be canceled, from people's opinions soon after launch anyway.
