I say the PS3 will surpass the 360 in worldwide sales in Q3 2013 and then lose the lead again just slightly due to the 360 performing better in the Holidays. By the beginning of 2014 I expect them to be at a statistical tie and the PS3 will overtake the 360 for good in Q1 2014.

To all those yabbering about which side did the bigger accomplishment this gen I would say their about the same. Both of them had complete screw-ups at the beginning of the gen. The PS3 had it's ridiculous price and launching way later (then again launching later doesn't mean squat as is obvious from the Wii) and the 360 had the horrible debacle known as RROD and being a complete failure in Japan (probably mostly due to RROD). And both had good moments where they shined such as brand name, extremely strong exclusive line-up, slim, Blu-ray and to a much lesser extent, Move for the PS3. Whereas the 360 had the one year head start, Kinect (which single-handily kept it in second place), the slim redesign and to a much lesser extent, all of those special edition 360's.

i knew i liked you for some reason, but i disagree with only one part. PS3 will take and keep the lead in 2013, but only by a small margin.

both are reasonable though right?

all 3 screwed up, but 1st place screwed up less.

Yeah I can honestly see it going either way. I just believe that the 360 will pull ahead of the PS3 by the end of the year 2013 because it usually does better during the holidays. However the gap may just already be large enough by the Holiday season 2013 that it might not be able to take back the lead.

I don't think 360 will have a big 2013 holiday season, MS will probably be busy advertising Nextbox and Kinect 2

Yeah I know, but it will be the same for the PS3 since it's releasing about the same time.
