i'm doubtful of 2013-2015. i just don't see 360 declining enough for that to happen. maybe 2015 pending Sony PS3 sales stay 1m a head of 360.

yea by the by. PS3 finished 600k a head of 360 for 2012.

Hmm? Probably going to be more like 1.3-1.5 million.

The gap for 2012 up to Dec 1st data is 1.25 million. Do you actually think that gap will grow, giving PS3 a larger lead?

360 sells better in the holidays, the annual gap will likely finish around 700k-1.1 million in favor of PS3, which is larger then 2010 and 2011 combined.

That "360 sales better than Ps3 during the holidays" is a total myth based off of short term memory loss. They base it off of last year but ignore years before.

Also, why wouldn't that gap widen? NPD suggest VGC to have overtracked the 360 and undertracked the Ps3 and on top of that the Ps3 beat the 360 according to VGC.

2012 so far favors 360 by 270k
2011 You admit, strong 360 preference, 1.27 million in favor of 360
2010, Nov/December sales are in favor of 360 by close to 700k.
2009 - PS3 Slim, PS3 dominance, something like 2 million
2008 - Nov/December sales are in favor of 360 by 1.26 million, quite a dominance
2007 - Nov/December sales are in favor of PS3 by 430k
2006 - From PS3 launch to years end, 360 outsold PS3 by 1.6 million units

Bold mark holidays seasons favoring 360, of the last 7, 360 has been leading 5 times.

It's not a myth, look up facts before making claims like such.

This is why the gap shouldn't widen, if 360 typically outsells PS3 in November/December, the gap should then reduce.
