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.

Sony made some bad decisions for marketing purposes but I like alot of those decisions, I like having blu ray and wifi in my console and like the wireless controlers and the cell really has shown what it's capable of over the last 2ish years with games still improving, all that increased the cost the console but I like in my console, frankly I think their only real mistakes was the launch games and trying to play catch up instead of waiting until they were ready to launch
