| theprof00 said: Agree with kowen regarding the gap by march, though possibly closer to 1m than 1.5. Year 2012, they closed gap ~500k by march, with only One Piece boosting sales in Japan. This year has god of war, sly, metal gear rising, allstars release in jp. This all depends on december numbers though...NPD could paint a very different picture, and a price cut early for 360 could change things. |
Oh, it will definitely be closer to 1M. Like I posted above, if the PS3 outperforms the 360 by as much as it did last year, than by Jan 5th the gap will already be at ~1.69M. With how well the PS3 is selling against the 360 this holiday season, I don't think it perfoming even better the last few weeks is out of the question, so ~1.5 by Jan 5th is not out of the question. Even if it performs like last year, and the beginning of this year, by March the gap should be decreased to at least ~1.11M. Now, if Sony drops the price of the PS3 to $199 before the end of the first quarter, then it should definitely be able to ship that down to ~1M or under. Of course, I don't expect them to drop the price til E3 in June.
