Can PS3 still win this generation and outsell Wii?

PS3-Wii gap = 35.5 million

PS3 sales last week = 126 580

Lets say that Wii sales instantly drop to 0. The Wii is immediately discontinued! Lets also imagine that the PS3 sees a sustained boost due to the price cut, christmas etc. Lets give it a 30% boost from last week in total sales. This would give it weekly sales of 164 554. This would require 216 weeks for the PS3 to outsell the Wii. This would put the PS3 ahead sometime in October 2015.

Really people, the fact that anyone voted yes is shameful/

Sony predicts they will ship 15 milions PS3 in 2011, Nintendo predicts 13 iirc after already adjusting it down after Q1 but they will likely fail to ship that many and finish 2011 fiscal with 9-10 milions.  In 2012 after Wii-U starts Sony will score another 12-13 milion year (maybe even 15 if they cut price to 200$) while Nintendo is unlikely to do more than 6-7.

After that PS3 will shave a few milions each year PS2 style - Sony has expanded markets to sustain sales for next 5-6 years Nintendo doesn't.

Imho it's only a matter of time before PS3 outsells both Wii and X360 through we will be long into next gen when it actually happens.
