287k lead over next 5 weeks?

Maybe next week 360 can pull that off, but for 5 weeks, no.

I think I will be right overall though. PS3 will win 2011, but by less then 1 million, maybe even just 500k.

360 should close the gap to 1 mill this week, so 200k over the next 5 weeks. Which isn't remotely difficult with the momentum it has. Black Friday week sales are never above Christmas week sales for any system, 360 will do 1.2/1.3M this week WW, so is a shoe in for 1.5M xmas week.

While i absolutely agree with you mate, I have to say, damn that would be an achievement, 1.3 -1.5 million week, in it's 6th year! Didn't really expect to see any of this coming, before the Xbox 360S began rearing it's head last year.

Microsoft must be damn pleased they didn't drop out of consoles after the original Xbox and first few years of 360 failure. :)
