Happy to say my 50% down YOY for PS3 and 360 at least this year will also be true. They will die quicker than previous gens.

Xbox only had one previous generation and it almost had an insta death. PS3 on the other hand will indeed die quicker than both of its predecessors.

I don't see PS3 having further downward adjustments. At 80 million shipped as of 2 Nov it would hav had to ship bugger all for 80.9 million to be over tracked.

Xb360 OTOH I can't recall what shipments are, but it hit 80 million before PS3, so it too would have had to ship bugger all units during the holidays for it to be on track, so I suspect you're right 360 should move up. I guess celebrations of PS3>360 were rather premature. I'm gonna say the technical victory has to go to 360 for having sold more than PS3 by the time the next gen had started, albeit with a 5 million + head start.

I've only been saying it for 2 years much to everyones ire.  By the way the PS3 has beed adjusted right back to 2007!!

Incidentally, if you align launches the PS3 is actually falling quicker than the 360.  They will both vanish rapidly.

Yeah but as I said in that thread, or another you linked to it, PS3's 2013 does not compare directly to 360's 2012 because there was no Xb one to draw away sales from 360 then unlike PS4 to draw away sales from PS3 now. Effectively the ability to compare launch aligned years under similar conditions ended in 2012. So while it's factually correct that PS3 is dropping faster in launch aligned comparisons, it doesn't mean much when taking account of the full context of that fact.
