Speaking of 15 million fiscal year predictions, didn't MS announce they would sell 15m 360's for the fiscal year ending June 2012? Sony did the same too did they not? They could both have tricks up their sleeves. considering the 2012 fiscal yr ends in 2013 i don't think MS has spoken on it but i believe you mean the 2011 fiscal yr which ends in 2012. i think MS expects to sell 13m. they just think they can out sell PS3 this yr.

If PS3 released the same year, it may not have been ahead of 360. You gotta realize 2005 was a very slow year for 360, and 2006 wasn't much better. Every year more any more people in general got into this gen. If PS3 released the same year as 360, it would have been affected by the same market. Meaning 2009 was a strong year for both manufacturers, regardless of when they released. If PS3 released earlier, it would have taken advantage of that strong year later, and peaker later, with a more gradual sales curve. its a paradox that doens't exists. the reason i said it is becuase of the sells ratio and wht it means in relative times, but that can't  truely be proven cause we don't live in a reality where MS and Sony releasd there consoles in 2005. the other thing is that PS3 sold 16-17m in its first 2 yrs while 360 sold 12-13m in its first 2 yrs, so PS3 has meen leading or outselling the 360 since its second yr.

i don't have the numbers infront of me so i can't truely say Sony has out sold them that long, but i think they did. but the sells i posted are spot on. i went over it every day that yr so i couldn't for get it.  

We don't need ANY ____ will dominate the world threads. You would be surprised how many PS3 threads like this there are, we should debate on of those instead one day because no one here does, and I don't get why. yea we don't need threads that talks about one console dominating the other no matter whos doing the dominating. also the thread title for this thread should read i think the 360 will overtake the PS3 not it will cause thats speculation that the OP can't back up with any kind of proof.

the OP talks about what MS said there going to do not what they will do and thats all the OP has to go on. to 1 lick of proof. the funnier thing is that Sony has said this exact samething so its nothing more then a mute point and just like my other post with everything canceling out. this would do the same.

the  OP also claims that everyone that doesn't agree with his finding don't want to face facts when the OP has no facts just speculation and nothing more. wouldn't that be the very essence of a 360 will dominate thread or am i just reading to much into it? 

PS2 and DS both broke 56 million in the US, no system has broken 150million sales, but DS and PS2 have shipped over 150 million systems.srry but theres already a thread up that says PS2 has only sold 46m in the U.S. and its already been reported that the PS2 has sold over 150m units WW.

You stopped playing Wii or 360? both mainly, but i'm still more active on the Wii.

I had all 3 consoles, not at 1 time though. My PS3 broke, so I got a Wii. Now I have a 3600/Wii combo, which ironically enough was cheaper then a PS3 at one point, and what most people said in 2006, was the best gaming option. I play the 360 alone, and Wii with friends, the split is probably also 75-25. yea about like me. hey if you get a PS3 you can friend me.

Sorry that was long, I got a test to study for, just this one time can we keep comments a bit short? I want to reply, but I don't have too much time. the ball is in your court.

ok enough is enough. i've had to do this one post 3 times. these servers need to be fixed so the site can stop crashing. it doesn't help that the page gets reloaded when the server can't be found.

If MS thinks they can outsell the PS3 this year, without a price cut, then I expect strong Kinect marketing again.

For that PS3/360 alligned launch arguement. All I am saying is you just can't shift 2008 figures into 2007 if PS3 were released a year earlier. What I would expect is that if PS3 launched in 2005, then PS3 would have seen super low sales that first year because in 2005 PS2 was crazy popular, and 7th gen consoles were not in demand yet. So PS3 would likely have been above the 360 if that were the case, but I would argue it would have been <1 million.

Seece should have titled the thread "I think ____" but very few people here pay attention to how they say things.

I can't argue with you and the OP. Seems like you should take it up with Seece. I see these types of threads too often, and I know most people will not edit their OP or title. Some will (in the case of a FFXIII Versus MP thread), but few will.

My PS3 broke, right now I just borrow a friends PS3 time to time to play the exclusives. I'm busy with school now, so I probably won't get the PS3 until next summer, and I'll be playing Uncharted 2 and InFamous 2 then.

@Jay - I'm not going to go look, but generally on this website we do see more PS3 will be #1 threads then any other console. I think postofficebuddy has a link to one in his post above me, didn't even have to leave the page and I found one lol.
