Keep in mind that Vgchartz hasn't adjusted the PS3 down yet. It looks to be near 500k overtracked so if they do adjust it accordingly the gap will be closer to 400k. |
How sure are you that it's overtracked? I mean, they've already adjusted the PS3 down this year, right? I'm sure the gap was like 1.8m/1.9m and then they lowered the PS3 to make the gap 2.5m or something... or atleast I'm sure I saw that anyway, lol. Just wondering where you're getting these overtracked figures from, no argument intended here.
Anyway, I strongly believe the PS3 will outsell the 360 again this year, it just has more exclusives hitting that I believe will add an extra burst of vitality to the high sales figures close to Christmas, although I can see the 360 maybe winning November and December as it did last year, mainly due to Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 (If there's a Black Ops 2 bundle and there's no doubt going to be a Halo 4 bundle too), but with the progress the PS3 will have made throughout the year, it hopefully won't impact it enough to put the PS3 into second place.

Well as of last quarters numbers there were only around 300k PS3's on shelves and its usually significantly higher than that unless the console is not meeting demand (which Sony are).

Also in that thread is a link to Kowens shipment thread I believe.

Ah thanks, that helps clear things up. So we should be expecting the PS3 WW sales to be lowered then, right? It's not looking good for those of us who thought the PS3 would eventually overtake the 360 in WW sales before the next gen, lol.

Yeah the general consensus is that the PS3 is roughly 500k overtracked. Now we might all be wrong and the PS3 actually does have very few consoles on shelves (very unlikely though IMO). But at the very least, I'd say you can expect the PS3 to be 100-200k overtracked.
