by the way, I think a better way of representing the decline of the weekly gap is this way....  easier to see.

  PS3 XBOX 360 Difference
03-01-10 508,373 311,534 39%
10-01-10 289,889 196,978 32%
17-01-10 211,584 153,358 28%

Yeah, that's what I was talking about earlier. The gap in percent terms is more informative than absolute terms, and it's a very clear pattern. The amount by which the gap decreases should also decrease, but it's clear that as things are going they will be either selling the same or the 360 leading after some time. Of course the one complication is software, which can and probably will turn things around a little as PS3 software in the near term has the edge.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Never again in its lifetime?

360 will probably keep outselling the PS3 in the US on a regular basis. But I don't think they will be able to outsell the Ps3 in Europe nor in Japan. The PS3 I think will remain ahead for quite some time, at least until Halo Reach Launches and thereafter we'll just have to see what the response is from Sony.

The tone of this thread is very very different to the tone of similar threads around september and october 2009.

OT

It will be PS3 for a while yet I think. Then later in the year we shall see... very difficult to fall - depends on the main variables... price and natal/arc.

The reason the tone is different is because there is no point in debating these numbers when they can change any minute. I am no longer going discuss weekly numbers since it keeps changing three months later. What I will say is, deja vu is right.

I think the closeness of PS3 and 360 has more to do with Sony playing shipment games with retailers. The PS3 is hard to find in America for some reason.

PS3 will stay ahead the whole year. Sony just needs to figure out its shipping problems in America.

i think the PS3 will continue to outsell the 360 on a consistent basis

only if xbox lowers the price will it overtake PS3 worldwide

however, xbox will continue to win in the americas unless sony drops the price of their consoles (120 & 250) first

thats not the reason... its because an awful lot of people here got carried away and somehow thought that the slim sales of sept and october were going to continue and the gap would be gone in 2010... 

At least they learned, you should be happy about that.

360 has a chance to outsell the PS3 WW in Q4 IF* everything goes right.

The biggest issue with MS is Japan.

Yes 360 will outsell the PS3 in Q4 in NA, but a small margin
yes the PS3 will outsell the 360 in OTHERS by a small margin

The PS3 will destroy the 360 in JAPAN
THE 360 will beat up on ps3 IN UK

Now, someone explain me how 360 will beat the PS3?

A $149 360 will not have the same affect that a $199 360 has had. History tells us this, but sony is screwing up with there supply, so that will push the ps3 further down in sales, I wouldn't be suprised if the 360 starts outselling it soon.
