I dont think xbox 360 will have a lead of 6 million by the end of this year. GT5 will sell consoles im sure. And sony has to be dumb not to bundle it with consoles. I think 360 will end up having a lead of maybe 4.5-5.5 million by the end of this year. And 5 million difference is not much anyways. Lets face it 360 came out a year earlier so it is natural for it to be ahead throughout this gen. The wii is a special case because well it was cheaper and was the "cool" thing to buy.
oh wait im going off topic. Anyways it might be possible. Blu ray sales are increasing every year. The ps3 price is decreasing every 1-2 years. Ps3 so far has the best line up for 2011. I dont think the 360 will even come close to the number of quality games ps3 will have next year. All those games might actually sell a bunch of consoles. Imagine the PS3 going $200-$250 next year too! Either way people who don't own a ps3 will be missing out. Luckily i own both 360/ps3 :)

"Ps3 so far has the best line up for 2011" deja vu for almost every year since the ps3 came out http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=5338
off topic, where have all these vgchartz .. well haters come from recently? did we piss of GAF or something? (ive never understood that squabble)... or is this a reaction to the 360 taking over weekly sales again? i reserve my hate for the NPD ...

For the recorded I don't hate it but it is pretty inaccurate and I'm not going to pretend it is accurate, (I mean adding 1 mil because of a mistake they made four years ago with it .3 mil from shipped numbers, I mean thats just stupid)
|
so it would be better for them to ignore a cumulative error? also the shipped numbers are released generally a month after they hit that number, so are you comparing to the numbers form the week shipments came out or lend of quarter numbers. and as for the 360 being .3 (was the 360 right? or did i missread your post) the last quarter before cycling to a new model your going to be cycling down shipments cutting it close while trying to avoid shortages. though i will say i did not hear or see any 360 console shortages this year, (headset shortages though... for about 3 months hard as hell to find... it would happen when i break mine)

No you don't understand, VG had sales 300,000 behind the 360s shipped numbers when they were released at the fiscal report, VG then added 1,000,000 sales because they didn't count for something that happened four years ago (ie before the fiscal report), that means that they thought the 360 had more sold then shipped which is impossible, if you are arguing that the shipped numbers might have been a bit less then everything that was shipped at that point (things that fell into the fiscal report didn't account for everything up to the date of the release) I might almost buy that if there were shortages and it wasn't by so much and if they weren't behind 2 million on the ps3s and 1 million on the wiis but there were no shortages, ps3 was the one with shortages, theres no denying their numbers are millions off

so let me see if i get what your saying, VGC on the day they released the quarters shipping numbers (which is a month after they stop counting for that quarter) only had 300K units free the number of free units im interested in is the number for the date the tracking for the quarter information ends, im betting that was more then 300k. by the time the numbers are out for us a month later who know MS could have holding shipments for the start of the next quarter and pumped a few hundred thousand out.
do you have the exact end date of the quarter in question, vgc listed as ltd and MS ltd. not the date the report was released but the date they stopped counting for the report
edit sorry for the slow reply got caught up in minecraft

VG had the 360 sales at about 300k less then the amount MS said they shipped, and then a month or so later (not sure when just heard about it) they add 1 million to the 360 sales because of under tracking 4 years ago or something, so if they added it at any point before the shipped numbers for 360 came in, VG would have shown 700k more 360s sold then MS said were shipped (even if it sold that much in a month that would mean there are no 360s left in stores at all), and there were no reported shortages for 360s, where there were reported shortages of ps3s which had 2 million more shipped then VG had sold, which means VG chartz numbers are way off and inconsistent, as for the date of the report http://scrawlfx.com/2010/04/xbox-360-reaches-40-million-sold the article says april 23
