ps3 definitely not
xb360 probably not

the ps4 is just to good in value and much closer in price to ps3 compared to xb360 value and price to xb1
the ps3 will be the fist playsation console with no legs. and even third world countries could not change that. the ps4 is already selling like gangbusters in asia and south amerika. so whats left? afrika? i doubt it. the guys who can afford a console, will buy a ps4. the guys who don't will buy mobile phones 

You think the 360 will sell better in its later years than PS3 when it loses to it on a weekly basis all year round? Sure it gets nice holiday bumps, but not enough to pull it in the lead. PS3 has far better legs in the global market than 360.

It's not doing as well as its predeccessors, but I call selling 5+ million units and counting after its successor released as having legs. Not to mention it still routinely the top platform when it comes to software sales on a weekly basis.

u go by vgc numbers, that are probably way off and wrong
as i said

the x360 sold either more than ps3 in 2014, or the xb1 is doing much better, than many think/predict/want to acknowledge
ps3 is down 65% in 2014
if 360 is down 65%, too that would result in just 2.5m xb360 for the full year (0.8m was the fist quarter figure)
and that would result in 9,6m xb1 sales in 2014, or 13,5m ltd

if the xb360 sold 100k units more than the ps3 in 2014 (despite being way behind in 2013), we would get 11,7m xb1 ltd

 

so yes, i think the xb360 will sell slightly better in it's last years
