oh well
but don't forget
american sales are much more season and month bounded than european sales
european sales are much more stable and better divided over the months of a year
plus the big games that come out the coming months and half year for the ps3
i really see it overtaking the 360 before summer max this summer

where did you find this? actually the contrary is true: NA market is bigger than EU/Others every given week of the year (about 30% more) EXCEPT FOR the holiday season (when EU/other is slightly bigger than NA) ...

i still see X360>PS3 in western countries after this holyday season unless Sony manages to lift up PS3 sales in US..

Not only that but his prediction that the PS3 could overtake the 360 before summer so out of touch with reality thats its not quite funny.

Based on the current lead the 360 has over the PS3, if the PS3 were to tie it by Summer (end of June) it would have to sell 1.22 million more systems than the 360 per month. That translates to roughly 300k more than the 360 per week. Basically for his prediction to come true then the PS3 is going to have to continue with holiday like sales throughout the next 6 months, or the 360 will have to literally just stop selling (as in 0 per week).

Now the second part of his prediction is that at the latest the PS3 will overtake the 360 is by the end of summer is equally out of touch, but not quite as batshit insane. For this to happen the PS3 would have to sell 810k more than the 360 every month until the end of summer (end of sept). This translates to a roughly 200k lead each and every week. Keep in mind that this is several times more than the PS3s current weekly lead over the 360 and is more than twice the typical weekly sales of the PS3 at the same time last year - and thats how much more than the 360 would sell.

TL;DR summary; LOL @ "PS3 will overtake 360 before summer"
