Smashchu2 said: By the numbers, PS3 was behind the 360 by 5 million units as of last week (using these numbers too becuase they are easier :P). Here is the break down of how many more they would have to sell a week to beat the 360.
As you can see, it would have to sell a lot more then it usually does to pull these. It's doable I guess, but the system are usually so close that it would take 3-5 years to do this not including if the 360 beats the PS3 on any week. This is all based on the assumption that PS3 outsells the 360 every week for x number of years. |
not counting the 1.3M ps3 outsold 360 last xmas.
were ps3 to do the same this year, which it is trending towards,
it would take
1 year : 66k per week
2 year : 33k per week
3 year : 22k per week
The most sony can ask for is a +2M gap close this christmas, taking the lead by xmas 2011, during which they will have both reached 60M or whatever.
