It probably will overtake the xbox, but even if it does by a margin, I would still consider the PS3 the looser of this gen (sales wise). Why? While selling a couple more console will give Sony a nice chunk of change in their pockets, it doesn't remotely cover the extra money MS made with software sales during all that time in which they had a bigger market share. This gen will be long over by the time Sony would have truly equalled MS.

Anyway, that's just the money perspective. I still prefer the Sony exclusives over the MS and Nintendo ones.

edit: typo


If you talking about money you cant forget all the money microsoft lost with RROD.

And this gen will give a lot of money still. WiIHD shows us the current tech still has legs for nintendo to continue with similar specs on its next gen console.

there was report that 360 turned very profitable, although they still havent recovered losses from the orginal xbox

If we take these kind of factors into consideration as well, then we should also consider how much money Sony lost from the hacking debacle. Though I believe the RROD thing caused more money lost than the PSN-hacking, I don't think that the difference makes up the gap between MS and Sony.

yea the RROD is already taking into account. the 360 did good this gen profit wise.
