If the 360 comes in 3rd (which it probably will) it's going to take a long time, and be close. 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 is assuming the weekly gap wont get any bigger. Most of lat year the 360 was beating the ps3 weekly but that has changed. So you cant assume things will stay the same. With the PS3 momentum over the 360 it looks like the gap will get bigger making the ps3 passing the 360 next yr WW very possible.


 this is a very simple math with avg estimate on a high end range of 100k a week, you guys attacking him like ps3 will infinitely increasing the gap from now on.  Look a few months back, ps3 outsell the 360 in weeks below 50k or even 20k range if I recall correctly, then of course there is the higher end week of 100k(havent see it happen yet).  even calculating with a high estimate average week of 100k from now on, you'll still need 60 weeks to close that 6mil gap.
