I think it's worth mentioning that PS3 outsold 360 by over 1.6m during Jan-Oct 2012, so it's possible that PS3 will take the lead next year with the 360 stealing it back again when the holiday season comes around and PS3 finally taking it back early 2014.

i disagree. i'm seeing the evidence that PS3 will take the lead by Oct. and keep it.

does anyone think there's a chance that wk8 (current numbers) number will be adjusted? and if so,will it give Sony another small lead for the wk?


I think there is a chance the entire year will get Ps3 adjustments. The only way VGC matches up with Sony's shipped numbers is if sony shipped more Ps2's in April - June and again in July - September this year than they did in October - December last year... even with Ps2 numbers showing a decline the last 4 quarters. Needless to say I don't see that happening. Best case scenario they sustained their Jan-March shipments within both of those quarters and not declining (which again I doubt)... I think that both MS and Ps3 will ship 5 to 5.5 million this quarter and probablly increase shipments closer to christmas it gets. so about 1 to 1.2 million in Oct. (Which would mean Ps3 was at 69million the end of September which would fall in line with Ps2 sustaining their Q1 shipments) 2 to 2.2 million in November and 2 to 2.2 million in December. So, in my opinion the Ps3 is at least 500k undertracked. Possibly up to 800k.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Sony announced their 70mil shipped when they did. I believe they know they are close to MS.
