Whit this week numbers... there are a 800k gap in PS3 favor... after that:

Week 17th Dec: tie (PS3 had the FFXIII-2 special edition)
Week 24th Dec: 360 by 150-200k
Week 31st Dec: tie (the PS3 always won by little the last week of the year)

The final gap in 2011 will be: 500-600k (PS3 winner).

 

please ethomaz, stop hyping up a PS3 victory i noticed you also did in other threads aswell, not only will you be incorrect but it will make me and my thread look bad aswell.  in my defense i made it last holiday season and will lose it by a few units which i think is pretty good for a prediction made that long ago, but as a little insurance policy i made sure i got it right for 2012 prior to not being on here as frequent

its not going to happen there will be no "tie" next week and there certainly wont be no 150-200k 360 advantage (lol) the week after that more like 500k+ as i also did mention earlier in this thread that on BF the 360 would also erase the gap by a certain amount along with a number of other things so my words should never be taken with a grain of salt as they say

 

congratualtions to seece his thread and MS's X-box (even though he needed to wait till MS themselves anounced that they would do what he named his thread)

I agree with you that next week won't be a tie.  MS should still have a lead of ~50K-100K.  But 500K+for the week after that?  You're joking, right?  You do realize for the corresponding week last year + the week of Chrstmas, the 360 only managed to outsell the  PS3 a combined ~355K?  Even with this Black Friday being one of the largest this gen (due mostly to early Black Friday deals), the 360 outsold the PS3 by ~366K.  And that was without the recent holiday boosts the PS3 is getting in the rest of the world.  Japan's boosts have only just begun.  Why would the 360 just come out of nowhere and score a 500K+ lead on the PS3 for just one of those remaining weeks?  It won't happen. 

Then of course, the last week the PS3 should have a small lead.  MS may get lucky and be able to cut that lead to a basic tie, but that's all it can hope for.
