You're being overly generous with those numbers. The current gap between Wii and PS3 sales is approx 100k/week, or 400k/month. That correlates to 4.8 mil/year at the current pace, which we'll say holds mostly true through slumps and holidays alike. Let's even be generous and say the numbers are 7mil/fiscal year, which is FAR more logical. The current Wii lead is 22m, which would take over 3 years, given these logical numbers, to catch up to the Wii. Both systems will fade away to dismal numbers within another year or 2. The PS3 will come close, but it won't surpass the Wii, unless they start handing them out for free. |
Not at all. 16.5M PS3s + PS2s sold in FY2012. Also, 45% of PS3 sales occur in the last quarter so during the holiday season. In other words, it is foolish to consider the current weekly sales to be the same as the weekly average over a year.
