Numbers That MS Needs To Pull To Tie The PS3 For 2011. And Why I Think It Is Now Impossible.

Thanks to another great week for the 360 (and adjustments to previous weeks), the 360 dropped the gap the PS3 had over it by ~333K this week. However, the 360 needed to be ahead of the PS3 by ~562K for this week to tie it.

I am fully confident history will repeat itself and the PS3 will be ahead next week by at least ~80K, which would leave the final gap at ~310K in favor of the PS3. In the event history does not repeat itself, than the most the 360 can hope for is a statistical tie for the remaining week, leaving the gap ~230K in favor of the PS3.

I will have to hand it to MS, they were able to make it much closer than I had originally thought, so congrats to them. And congrats to the PS3 for being to hold of the 360's incredible holiday season gains.

Even then, this is much less then you and I had anticipated. How many total units does this make it for 360 annually? Did it break 15 million?

Right now the PS3 sits at just over 13.8 million units, while the 360 is just under 13.6 million.  I'm guessing the PS3 will end up a little short of 14.5 million, while the 360 will be a little over 14 million.

See my edit. lol. Great years for 360/PS3, now I really hope sales crash so the next gen can start already. I want an upgraded Forza/GT experience, new first party IP's, and 1080p.
