Looks to me like its 5th now. Itll take 2nd....this gen, eventually.

How long is this "counting chickens before they hatch" phase gonna last? Its still gonna be several months before PS3 is within striking distance of overtaking 360, but nono you guys are allready setting your sights higher.

Until it happens, PS3 is last place, so please act accordingly until the milestone actually happens.

Wikipedia had PS3 numbers surpassing the 360 as of September 2012, and now you have IDC releasing their stats. I don't even know who to listen to anymore, just seems like individuals throwing estimates around.

Indubitably

 

Video game consoles (including handhelds)

 

Manufacturer	Platform	Released	Units Sold
Sony	PlayStation 2	2000	153.6 million[1]
Nintendo	Nintendo DS	2004	152.50 million[2]
Nintendo	Game Boy and Game Boy Color[3]	1989 and 1998	118.69 million[2]
Sony	PlayStation	1994	102.49 million[4]
Nintendo	Wii	2006	97.18 million[2]
Nintendo	Game Boy Advance	2001	81.51 million[2]
Sony	PlayStation Portable	2004	73.9 million
Sony	PlayStation 3	2006	70.2 million[5][6]
Microsoft	Xbox 360	2005	70.0 million[7]
Nintendo	Nintendo Entertainment System	1983	61.91 million[2]

Either accept the PS2 numbers as well or don't use this Wiki chart for your argument.
