Keep dreaming Sony fanboys :lol

Wait, I thought it was Heavenly Sword that was going to push PS3 ahead?

Or was it Warhawk?

Or was it Ratchet and Clank?

Or was it Uncharted?

Or, then it was GTAIV?

Now it's MGS4? Hah!

It looks like, PS3 will overtake 360 in 3rd quarter of 09 or so, if not later if PS3 begins to slide in sales again as they have lately (360 now outselling PS3 again in USA, Uk) . <--BTW I'm using real NPD/Charttrack figures not vgchartz.

 

BTW I'm going by shipment numbers. As of 3/31/08 it was 12.85 PS3 19.0 360. PS3 gained about one million those three months (2.24 versus 1.3). Personally I think that was a anamoly for several reasons, but lets be kind to PS3 and assume it keeps gaining 1 million every three months shipped..it trails by 6m so that's 18 months, 1.5 years, late 2009.

In actuality, in favor of the PS3 you might expect it to gain more than 1m in holiday Q.

But in favor of 360, MS probably undershipped that Q (USA shortages during that time). And also, Sony has already stated a PS3 price cut wont happen before 3/31/09. So I expect once 360 makes it's big price cut, PS3's lead will slow down a lot, leading to the PS3 wont take the lead until 2010, or possibly never.
