Even if the PS3 outsells the 360 by 50-100k (100k is high end, and probably won't happen regularly for a while if at all) a week, that's going to be how many weeks? Completely rough estimation (I don't feel like doing math right now), it's 6 mil behind, which puts it at 60-120 weeks. Two years it can catch up. Just over a year is unrealistic, so say in a year and a half to two years it will catch up. Hardly a devastating defeat. At the end of the gen, the two will be very close and 3rd place will seem meaningless. |
That depends entirely upon if the weekly sales gap between the two remains roughly the same. If it does, then neither console is going anywhere (there will be no early drop out consoles this generation). Based upon the upcoming exclusives for the PS3, my gut tells me Sony will track higher in register receipts this holiday season than MS.
But even if the weekly sales gap widens, the 360 will still stay on the market as long as the MS gaming division continues to stay profitable. With software generated revenue and a consistent, good attach rate, MS is not leaving this growth industry any time soon.
