Xbox 360 Vs. Playstation 3 2012 - *February* Update

[postofficebuddy]

Let's break it down mathematically again. This week 360 is down YOY in EMEAA and Japan by 33k, or about 15%. This trend will likely continue and and will probably put it down by about 300k for the remaining 7 weeks of the year. Last year between EMEAA and Japan PS3 outsold 360 by just under 1.1 million in the last seven weeks. This year between 360 YOY declines and PS3 YOY gains, primarily thanks to new colors, a generally higher sales baseline, and FFXIII-2 in Japan, the gap will be closer to 1.75-2 million for the last 7 weeks. This means that 360 would need to outsell PS3 by 3.25-3.5 million in America in the same time frame or about 500k per week. Last year it only outsold it by 1.6 million. For another example, back in 2009 Wii outsold PS3 in Americas by 2.5 million in that timeframe.
