Also, PS3 likely outshipped 360 in Q3. This means 360 dropped by 2.1m YOY and PS3 ~500k. I think it's pretty clear that sales didn't drop that much for 360, so we can deduce that they clearly did overship back then.

How big will the difference be between PS3 and 360 this fiscal year in shipments? 4m? Haven't added everything up, but that sounds good.


in the first 3 quarters of last year 360 shipped around 7 million, this year 4 million in the first 3 quarters. the clearly overshipped in Q4 last year. 

Indeed. Do you know how they stand from April to Dec? 5.9 in "Q3" and how much in Q1 and Q2? Sony expect around 13m for PS3, so does 9m for 360 sound reasonable? That means 5.9m in one quarter and 3.1m in the 3 other quarters...talk about being holiday centric.

honestly no, kowen has that thread of quarterly shipments though. last year Q4 they shipped 8 million and ended the year with 15 million. that means over 50% of the 360's sold is in their last quarter. and about 60% of the 360% sales this year were in Q4, holiday centric indeed, and that will come back to bite 360 in the ass this year with next gen consoles releasing and hype for current gen decrease dramtically in the holidays. mark my work, ps3 will pass 360 this year then it will fly far away from it, once its all said and done it will end no less than 7 million units more sold then 360.  and sony expects 13M in 2013? or you mean their earlier preictions of 13 million fisical year 2012?
