Unless there are some huge sales boost then this won't happen by that time. PS3 needs GT5 and the Dildo to sell a lot of PS3s for this to happen.

The same spikes can happen to the 360 for those reasons.

The best thing to do is to take out abnormal weeks when trying to calculate something like this.

Just like 360's large spike from 2008 will happen again this year if it price cuts with the Slim + Natal + big games.

EDIT:  Ah, theRepublic beat me to it.

Also, PS3 units should be meeting demand as of this week (so should show up in numbers in a week or 2 on VGC).  Also, even ioi himself said that up until this March 20th sales figures, there really wasn't a "shortage" because if you wanted a PS3 you could still find one with minor effort.

I just laid out what the possibilities are if the PS3 passes the 360 in sales. Settle down hoss.

I don't know about in your time frame, but the PS3 beats the 360 on a weekly basis with ease so PS3 will be above 360 eventaully. 85k difference this week in favor of PS3. I know that's a bit of a boost from GoW3 and other things but the gap is still usually 25-50k or so.

I think your time frame is off though. Like let's be generous and say the PS3 beats 360 by 50k each week on average; with a gap of 5.58m units that would take 111 weeks which is just over 2 years so about April 2012.

My calculations included the pricecuts, Holiday Sales for BOTH consoles, you can argue that *Thats why the average weekly sales are so high since slim launch* But dont you forget that theres another Holiday season, GT5, PSmove, FFVXIII ect in and before the timeframe i suggested which WILL keep that average weekly sales in the same range or perhaps higher.

Same goes for the 360 sales and releases with natal, Halo Reach (which will hardly sell consoles), and alan wake...

Year on Year for both consoles will make all the difference, in fact it will be about 10% higher for the PS3 (As opposed to the current 35% YoY) from 2009-2010 and 5-10% Lower for the X360 even on the back of Natal.

continue of off topic--- are you using opera? since the last update the internet has a lot more lag and crashes...

on topic - those statistics aren't well made... i am sorry. PS3 can surpass 360 in that time window but the reasons and calculations are wrong, there are lots of variables that you don't take into consideration...

and we are all aware of the huge pent up demand for the PS3 before and since the Slim release, and now with the shortages in the USA that isnt going to go away for a long time, especially when GT5 releases which will be a system seller on par with that of Halo 3 for the Xbox.

Off Topic:-- Naw not using Opera, looks like the site was getting the software update when i was trying to load the Homepage, its fine now *using firefox*

Thanks for the update, future man.  What's the weather like in Fantasy Rainbow Sony Always Wins and 360 Always Fails Natal Sucks Halo Blows World?
