I might add that even a short term overtaking by the 360 could delay the PS3's claiming of generation second spot by an extra six months or so. Sony would have to catch up, get ahead again, and then sell enough to overcome the ground 360 took back, before they could even start hauling it in again.

In any case, it's looking like the PS3 won't catch the 360 until after the next Wii/Xbox and probably PS4 are out, making it mostly irrelevant. The PS3 won't get the tail end support the PS2 got because it simply won't have the equivalent game library.

Current data and sales momentum seems to indicate the PS3 will overtake the Xbox360 Worldwide sometime in 2009, at the latest around Holydays 2009.

I highly doubt the Xbox720 or PS4 will be out by then (Sony is not used to screwing their userbase by replacing a console every 3-4 years...).

 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
