| SnowWhitesDrug said: @ ssj ok we will say the ps3 probably out sells the 360 on average 70,000 a week, it has a current difference of 6.4 million to make up, no i will do a little maths... and we have 91 weeks, now in that time the 360 will continue to sell which will mean it will actually take more weeks, so were looking at a little over 100 weeks which is 2 years, Now to factor in things such as christmas and what not (where are unknown who will come out on top) I couldnt see the ps3 selling 3 million more then the xbox in that time frame so its safe to say its going to be at least a year+ before the ps3 comes close to over taking it. this time next year or christmas of next year, thats what I think you might look at it different but thats how I see it, So if you have another equation to work it out let me know man cos i dont mind being proven wrong, I like the cold hard facts and numbers |

it's pretty clear that the 360 is at a stalemate for sales, there is clearly nothing they can do in Japan, in EU they cut the price and it did nothing, the US is the only market where the 360 can actually make some headway, and that would be accomplished by cutting the price, but that hasn't happened and may not happen for a while looking at their last financial report.
and truth be told, the 360 may have some good games this year, but it has VERY few system sellers.
the PS3 on the other hand, can cut the price in japan, make a slimline version, reintroduce BC, make new colors. In EU they can cut the price, bundle with EU centric games (like GT5:P), and in america they can do the same.
all of these will provide huge boosts for the PS3, especially considering that is outselling the 360 RIGHT NOW despite being at a higher price point. thus, larger gains in sales will be seen from price cuts on the PS3 compared to the 360 (except maybe in the US)
and contrary to the 360, the PS3 actually has system sellers this year.
all of these reasons and more why the "well the difference is x now so it will take x weeks to catch up" is the worst argument in the history of the internet.
