So how long before PS3 software sales pass that of the Wii and DS?

PS3 is 200m behind Wii and 300m behind DS, so probably never. 360 has a slightly better chance, as it's 100m behind Wii and 200m behind DS.


PS3 software sales as of March 2012: 595M

PS3 + PS2 software sales from Apr 2012 to Dec 2012 : 123.2M

PS2 software sales from Apr 2011 to Dec 2011: 6.8M

So, PS3 software sales from Apr 2012 to Dec 2012 (at worst) : 116.4M

 

So, at worst, PS3 software sales up to Dec 2012 : 711.4M

DS software sales as of March 2013: 933.69M

Wii software sales as of March 2013: 869.06M

 

So, even when not counting the PS3's Q4 2012, the PS3 software sales is 157.66M behind the Wii's and  222.29M. So, realistically, the gap is about 125M and 200M. The PS3 won't have any problems passing those, especially at the rate at which software is selling on the PS3 (and that's not counting a future pice drop).
