Dude, its Janauary. I wasn't expecting people to follow every week and adjustment.

Remember last year, the gap was closing and then the holidays came.

A lot of people predicted PS3 would close the gap significantly in 2010. Even 360 fans thought it would.

In case people forgot, the gap was about 3.6 million in October of 2010. It jumped back up to 5 4.5 million by the end of the year though.

In my opinion the gap will grow primarily because of the Kinect. The 360 now appeals to both casual and core gamers.

The only thing Sony could possibly do to sell more consoles is another price cut. But they won't do that unless MS cuts prices first.

THOUGHTS?!???!???

Eh that's going a bit far.. It's like saying the Wii now appeals to FPS gamers because it has Goldeneye, Reflex, and Black Ops. I don't know about you, but I sure don't know any soccer moms or grandpas who bought a $300-$400 Xbox 360, and certainly not just for games like Kinect Adventures and Dance Central.. It doesn't seem like Kinect helped lift Xbox 360 hardware sales this holiday anyway, especially after the adjustment of - a million plus. I think the slim model, Halo, Black Ops, and the natural holiday boost were more the reason for the surge. Yes Kinect sold a lot during the holiday but I think a large chunk of those sales were current 360 owners.

Anyway, the gap will maintain roughly the same, with the PS3 possibly inching a bit closer as a result of its Japan advantage. Kinect may be helping the 360 for a bit, but only seems to be in the US, and it won't last even there if the Kinect games don't get any better.

And even with holidays the gap was closing... last year in January the gap was 5.5m... PS3 decrease the gap over 1m in 2010.

Personally I would wait for Sony shipments, given the other two were over-tracked chances are fairly decent that the PS3 was too. I don't think the PS3 is likely to have bucked this trend.

Sony have stated (multiple times) that they're on track to meet their projection. They've even hinted at the possibility of beating it. On a small side note, they're probably going to smash their PS2 projection.

I think Kinect has sold more casual software than Wii has sold core software. :-p

I mean Dance Central is going to outsell CoD games on the Wii.

The Kinect definitely helped console sales. I mean 360 sales were huge this holiday and many of the Kinect bundles were sold out. I doubt this happened because of core sequels.
