VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Oct 2010 to 01st Jan 2011:

X360                  PS3


6,866,522          6,283,436

Just another way to look at it. MS outsold PS3 by nearly 600K from Oct 10th 2010 to Jan 1st 2011. They need to outsell the PS3 by nearly twice that amount this year without Kinect being the hot new device. If MS have a price cut or something up their sleeves they should do it already.

I mentioned the same bit of data a few weeks ago and Seece took an attitude with me and basically said 'Well they'll find a way to do it'. It's a statistical improbability. Why can't people just accept its not going to happen. Its not just a baseless fanboy argument, its backed up by the data that we have.

Yeah because that's exactly what it is, you sound almost scared to admit it. I'll put Microsoft before you, I'll also say they have a heck ton more data than we do, and people actually qualified to comment. That's why I can't say how they'll do it, but I havn't heard Sony or Nintendo argue what they've been saying at all. You just seem to think they're going to blag their way through the rest of this year. Not gonna happen, they wouldn't reiterate every month.

 

Ugh... whatever. I'm done arguing with you. If you're not going to present an argument to me other than blind hope than this conversation is pointless. A small reminder:

That's only 24k less than what PS3 sold during all of December in Japan last year. And ironically enough PS3 is currently baseling quite close to its 2009 sales level in Japan.
