LOL 7 million more is "too many users"? LMAO!!!!

if EA, the most US-based company can come out and predict PS3 outselling 360, that's really saying something.

I predict PS3 will catch up to 360 (WW) around mid of 09. both around 25-27 million mark.

I think it will be a lot sooner than that. That 7 million is only US sales. The PS3 is about to outsell the 360 outside the US in total numbers.

 

If this week is a sign of things to come (and that’s a big if), we can expect the PS3 to outsell the 360 by around 40-50%. Let’s go conservative and say 40%.

 

If you round the 360 to 17 million, and the PS3 to 10 million, at 40% sales difference from now, when the 360 hits 25 million, the PS3 will hit 30 million (8 mil is 40% of 20 mil).

 


 That's not how you'd do that math... You would take 8 million units sold for 360 and add an additional 40% of 8 million to that to get the total new units sold for PS3. So that would be 3.2 million more PS3's than 360's, or 11.3 million vs. 8 million. So your total would be 25 million 360's and 21.3 million PS3's.
