Holy shit! That's amazing! The very definition of a stalemate imo.

Really just shows that there's no room for twins in this industry. Its good for us consumers though :D

HD twins beating wii so all is good :D

HD FOR THE WIN!!!

hopefully move and kinect move even more consoles.

*cue fanboys screaming*

anyway that's crazy..

Position gonna be reversed in a week, quite substantially too I think given 360 seems to be parked on about 100K in America at the moment, and EMEAA, while it'll drop a bit, it will stay ahead for a while, especially with the Arcade coming at about the time you'd expect 360 to fall behind PS3 in EMEAA.

If we still had the "since launch" graph function we'd still see PS3 well above 360. Seems like it's the fact that 360 only got a 5 million install base between it's launch and PS3 launch that has the PS3 tracking ahead.

This is why all the dooomed stuff is so boring.  Both are viable, both sell a lot of SW and neither is going anywhere soon.

360 doing particularly well at finding the right time to stave off the slumps, while PS3 seems to be on more of a slow but steady increase track.

Taken on their own merits both HD consoles are doing well and show every sign of both getting to very good LTD sales.

I expect 360 to nudge ahead up to December due to Reach/360s.  But I figure GT5 plus the strong lineup of exclusives on PS3 will keep things close overall.

And it starts again.

*Agrees with reasonable(lols?)*

Quite true, their sales will be pretty close across the year 2010 and maybe until the end of year 2011

I think most of us were aware of this and it should be noted that the PS3 was always much further behind before the launch of the slim. I could go on.. etc, etc.

but when you just take a step back from it all and look at those numbers (even with the knowledge that the 360 will pull ahead soon) it is just amazing.

They compete so well with one another, but both Sony and Microsoft must know that without the other, there is a chance that a single HD console would not have been able to compete with the wii (this is debatable i know) and because they keep each other in line with sales, the consoles keep selling.

And I think it will stay this way until either the PS3 or 360 wins 2 holidays in a row.

it will come down to whoever moves on to next gen first.

Sony and Microsoft both want to see the 720 before the PS4.

This gen is amazingly close between the 2 systems, lets hope the individuality of all of the competitors is maintained more dynamically next gen, unlike this gen where the hd systems are so similar.
