I honestly would have waited until we had a couple weeks of KINECT launch before making this thread.

But I still don't think the PS3 will overtake the 360 before this generation ends.


and when do you think this age will end?

I would guess around 2012 or 2013.

and you think 360 with now a slim 2.9m lead will fend of increasing sales of PS3 and incoming big pricecuts of PS3 till FALL 2012 or FALL 2013?

Its 3.9 million and if KINECT is a hit then yes, if it isn't a big hit (very unlikely though) then I could see the PS3 outselling it before the next gen starts.

i was going by the shipped figures

even if Kinect is big how many units do you think it will help push 360?

Enough to at least keep the 360 tied with the PS3 on average.

it could give a good start but it just won't last after Christmas and PS3 is almost beating it by 1m units per quarter

If KINECT is gonna be big it wouldn't just drop off for no reason.

 

anyways i don't want to start anything so i will leave it to that

Here are the all the possible situations I can think of.

1. KINECT completely bombs

2. KINECT has a really bad start but over time does better due to better games being released and software updates that improve on it 

3. KINECT starts off really well but fails not too long after due to lack of good games and support.

4. KINECT starts out great and continues to do great for a couple of years (like the Wii)

 

I personally think KINECT will be like the Wii (on a much lesser scale) and sell pretty dang good for a couple of years.  The only reason I could see KINECT flopping is if people just don't like it or if its not supported by good games.
