Proof, no. My flux capacitor is on empty, so I can't travel to and from the future, but I do have the benefit of insight.
The PS3, as you can see from this elegant and colorful table, is absolutely flat for this week when compared on a YoY basis; not so for the X360. A similar performance pattern has being seen from both throughout the year. The X360 is doing, percentage-wise, a little better than the PS3, without that exhalted parade of never-ending exclusives that SON¥ keeps churning out. Just like this year, last year the X360 faced and enormous YoY lead by the PS3 that seemed too steep to surmount. Until Black Friday rolled along and all that hard earned elbow distance the PS3 had accumulated almost shrunk within the space of two months to a mere 0.5 mil, YoY. Blame it the Slim, Kinect, Halo 3, Fable III, Al-Qaida, whatever, but the shrinking gap, swelled again. I believe this years E3 will give us substantial surprises, as M$ said to 'keep momentum' going into the Holidays. And the Holidays do what the Holidays do, which is to substantially increase the installed base for both Wii and X360 and, yes, to a lesser extent, the PS3, thus swelling considerably said closing gap, yet again. In short, by May 2012 we will be discussing how yet another large PS3 sales lead is insurmountable and how 2012 will finally be known as the year when PS3 overtook the X360. And then do it all over again in 2013. I hope that wasn't too random for your tiny little mind. Cheerios! |
So you don't have proof? all you gave me is a bunch of YOY performance which has nothing to do with how consoles will preform this comming november.
First of all 360 is up YOY because last year same time frame it was doing crap but now its riding the 360slim effect and kinect while ps3 is flat this year(which is remarkable considering 2 years has passed since ps3slim and price cut) because it was riding the ps3 slim and price cut effect from 2009 last year(2010) which is why it was doing higher numbers from the year it didn't have slim and price cut(kinda like what 360 is doing now).
Now for the underlined part, GTFO with that bullshit your saying holidays benifit 360 a lot but only has mild effect on ps3? ohh yeh just like how the GAP went from 8m down to 4m because in holiday 2009 where ps3 outsold the 360 by a lot? kindly explain this to me and stop making bullshits.
funny cause despite ps3 being FLAT(again outstanding considering 2 years has passed since price cut and slim) its still outselling the 360 which just had slim and kinect.
FINALLY

TOTAL console sold for 2010 ps3 still outsold 360 despite kinect and 360slim release....so much for your "holiday = 360 widening the GAP" theory...
