Will the PS3 and 360 gap grow or close in 2011?

Like I said before the numbers now are off...

360 overtracked here by 700k in US (NPD numbers).

LOL!! What?!? If that's true, then the PS3 is probably overtracked as well and so is the Wii. We'll see how much the numbers are off. I doubt is 700K.

The gap will grow for the next few months I think. Only Japan is keeping the PS3 close right now. If Japan drops down to the 20K-25K, then the 360 will definitely have a gap increase.

With the Kinect price dropping before the holidays as well as the XBox 360, sales for these systems are going to increase like crazy. Especially in America. PS3 sales in U.S. were not the greatest this holiday. At one point both the Wii and 360 outsold the PS3 by 2:1 in the U.S.

Why PS3 will be overtracked too???

Anyway 360 and Wii adjusted DOWN... PS3 flat because it never overtracked here.

Soon 360 will be ajusted down in EMEAA too... waiting financial numbers.

And PS3 WON this and last week WW.

As others have mentioned and myself time and time again it would seem...

If your basing your "everything needs to be adjusted down except the PS3" thing on NPD numbers then PS3 is 550k over-tracked for the year on VGC, in comparison to NPD.

There have been months where the PS3 was severely over-tracked on VGC in the last year and it didn't get adjusted down. Most recently november where it was over-tracked by well over 100k.

Can't have it both ways. If you want 360 and Wii to be adjusted down on the basis of NPD numbers then you have to want PS3 to go down too. For the year PS3 was just as over-tracked as the 360 was.

That doesn't surprise me for this site. Everyone already knows the numbers on here aren't accurate anyways. Nothing but guesstimations and then lots of adjustments every week. NPD numbers isn't completely accurate either. They do not track every retailer in the U.S. They don't even track Wal-Mart from what I've read. So chances are good the numbers are low for NPD anyways. I would love to see console sales for just Wal-Mart alone. lol!!
