If it coninues like these(based on charts from april 5th) the ps3 will catch up in 63 weeks.

186 000/(11.6 *10^6)= 0.015(ps3)

134000/(18.1*10^6)=0.0075(360)

1.015^x*11.6*10^6=1.0075^x*18.1*10^6

(1.015^x)/(1.0075^x)=(18.1*10^6)/(11.6*10^6)

1.0079^x=1.56034

(log 1.56034)/(log 1.0079)=63-64 weeks


In europe 19 weeks:


100 000/5.2mill=.02(ps3)

66 000/6.2mill=.01(360)

5.1mil*1.02^x=6.2*1.01^x

1.02/1.01= 1.0099=1.01^x

6.2/5.1=1.21

log 1.21/log 1.01= 19 weeks

You're using a wrecking ball to hit a nail in a two by four...  this is simple math

PS3 is outselling the 360 by 52,000 units/week so it will take 123 weeks for the PS3 to catch up to the 6.4 million consoles its behind... NOT 66

Lol while he was too complicated your being way too simple. Since the week ending January 5, the PS3 has outsold the 360 by 36%. If the trend stays(most likely it will increase in the PS3's favor this year with titles, price drop in Europe) it would take exactly 104 weeks to catch the 360, and an average of 61,000 more consoles sold a week. A long while, but with MGS4, Socom, and price drops I say it will catch the 360 WW by next summer.
