I decide to look just for fun, obviously my numbers arent to be taken too seriously, other factors could also be taken into consideration. If we look at it that way, shortages seems to have a slight effect.

19-25 PS3    410 749    360    775 144              360 at 189%
26-01 PS3   159 941     360    278 773              360 at 174%
02-08 PS3     98 481     360   145 161               360 at 147%

If we were to assume no drop on the Kinect effect after the holidays. 360 would stay at 174% of the PS3 sales, we would look at sales of 171K instead of 145K. If the shortage were already in effect in the previous week and decide to use the 189% instead, we would be looking at 186K instead of 145K.

Some might argue that its normal the 360 would suffer a worst drop then the PS3 because of the Kinect holidays effect. Something sure is, last week, 360 wasnt suffering too much from shortages. Around 40K at its very worst.


There is not enough data there to draw too many conclusions, plus didn't the PS3 have a Walmart deal in your first week that would have skewed figures?  Will be intersting if you continue the table for another 4-8 weeks though, might be a interesting thread with lots of responses if you fancy making it.

Thanks for the suggestion but im not interested enough to do a thread about it. But, I guess it will get closer and closer. Will be interesting to see if 360 can regain this gap when Microsoft is officialy able to sustain the demand.
