Heavy Rain, GoW3, Uncharted 2 ODST, Mass Effect 2, Forza 3, Splinter Cell and all the Move Kinect games should offset Halo Gran Turismo and Fable  LBP2 this holiday. Then you got GT5 Reach which could sell about 4-5 7 - 8 million this year. BO will give a bit to 360 and so will MoH, not to mention Kinect move games as well but I don't see Kinect move playing a big role in the software department with how the gimmicky games are. PS3 right now is 3 million ahead but will likely lose that lead within the next week month but once HR, GoW3 and UC2 ODST, Mass Effect 2, Forza 3, Splinter Cell begin to pick due to boost in hardware we should see software begin to favor PS3 360. The problem with 360 is it hasn't really had any memorable games out for the 3/4 of this year so nothing to really get bumped up except for maybe Alan Wake, FF13 and RDR.

Last bit is just crap.

I could list games, like how Fable will offset LBP2, Reach will limit the damage GT5 does, Move vs Kinect, old PS3 games vs old 360 games (yes they do exist har har)

But I'll let the charts do the talking for me.

5th December - no new games released, PS3 HW 140k above X360, yet 360 SW 1 million units ahead of PS3
12th December - no new games released, PS3 HW 180k ahead of X360, yet 360 SW 1.4 million units ahead of PS3
19th December - FFXIII PS3 Japan released, PS3 HW 300k ahead of X360, yet 360 SW 400k units ahead of PS3
26th December - no new games released, PS3 HW 220k ahead of X360, yet 360 SW 2 million units ahead of PS3

Seeing a pattern yet?

Despite the PS3 selling 840k more in HW, the 360 sold 4.8 million in SW more.

Well with LBP2 being pushed to 2011 looks like this became even more probable.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

There is no way GT5 is going to outsell Reach....I mean seriously come on now. I can't believe some are still debating it.

It already surpassed it. Vgchartz just updated the yearly WW software sales a minute ago. 360 surpassed the PS3.

I was just about to say no because GT5 was coming out but then I remembered that Fable 3 is coming out (and it looks like its gonna be the best selling fable ever)  plus if Kinect does good then there will be some really good sales there, then theres all the multi-plats that sell better on the 360 like COD and Fallout.
