Thanx!

So 360 safe in second for a while.

PS3 must work harder...

I'm most anticipating a 10 million lead in NA. 800k to go.

Long and difficult way to go. Will magic of PlayStation work again.

I think the PS3 lead in other/europe may be more than VGChartz estimates:

For example:

PS3 vs 360 sales

So PS3 has overtaken the 360 in Others again in these charts? The graph looks so weird. Also, is the WW gap at an all-time low?
The 360 is just relentless in America, it will be interesting to see the sales gap between the two this summer there, as well as worldwide obviously.

To be honest XBOX has only increased its lead by 800,000 since Jan 09, which is basically a year and a half (i.e. Jan 09 8,500,000 - april 10 - 9,300,000).
The graph is also clearly stabilising, so you could be waiting a while to get to 10,000,000 ahead...

Thanks for creating and uploading these, they are always a helpufl reference tool.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Correct.

The gap at launch was 5.4m, it is now the lowest it has ever been.

So, PS3 to overtake 360 worldwide this month, correct? I remember people saying that once the ps3 got close, it would blow straight passed. Surely it is close now, because it's the closest its ever been!

@ kowenicki

This thread uses VGC numbers and is not a discussion about the validity of those numbers... if you want to argue about the validity of the numbers go start a thread about that elsewhere.


OK you've made yourself clear, but not much to talk about then...

Nah, even after a price cut, slim ect ect the PS3 has done hardly any damage to the 360. When it's time for Microsoft to do something big with the Xbox (Like NXE and price cut in 2008) it sells massively in the states.

 

It's not really a contest who will sell more in NA this christmas, PS3 barely won it last year didn't win it last year, 360 will cake walk it this year. WW is a whole difference story, that's anyone's guess.
