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. |
Remember that the difference between the two grows exponentially over the holidays. The 360 sold ~2 million in December of last year alone, and it's currently selling better this year than last. If the ps3 outsells the 360 by ~30% each week, then the ps3 should (in theory) sell 600k+ more than the 360 in December of this year alone.
And MGS4, GT5, and FFXIII will help push things along throughout '08 and '09. :)
