Its time to admit it. PS3 will outsell the 360 in about 3 years

Okay seriously people saying the ps3 will never outsell the 360 need to do some fact checking, the 360 has been out for a year longer, so if ps3 is on the market for the same amount of time as the 360 it will outsell it (selling about 9.5 mil on average a year with about a 3.5 mil gab) and ps3 sells about 1 million more consoles a year then the 360 does, actually lets be more specific then that 

38.1/4= 9.525 million a year

41.7/5=8.34 million a year 

9.525-8.34= 1.185 million difference a year

41.7-38.1=3.6 million

3.6/1.185=3.037 years until the ps3 outsells the 360, assuming they both stay on the market

You ignore that the 360 has actually sold more starting from the PS3 launch.

Its not impossible for the PS3 to sell more in the end. But face it, MS dominated Sony this gen mostly because of Sony's own mistakes. Everybody thought the PS3 would easily outsell the 360 and it didn't.

Of course the 360 has sold more starting from ps3 launch, they had a year to come out with titles and lower the price, if you want an accurate and fair comparison you need to compare them for the same number of years starting from their respective launch dates, so in other words take off the last year for the 360 

Another stupid mistake by Sony. Releasing an incredibly high priced console.

They just gave second place to MS. Its like they wanted them dominate.

You know the PS2 sold more than the Gamecube and Xbox combined and then some. Now they struggle for second? Clearly Sony made some bad decisions and you people make excuses for it.
