With all 3 being so close and the 360 being the strongest in the US... I think the 360 wins this holiday.


What are you basing this off?? The ps3 has been outselling the 360 WORLDWIDE since the start of this year!


By not very many at all...  and

The US and the UK (basically English speaking territories) have the biggest boost over the holidays... these are the main 360 markets.

 

But allow me to illustrate further (and to deal with your point above):

VGC May and June 2010: PS3: 1,511,236, 360: 1,222,092

VGC Nov and Dec 2010: PS3: 5,527,370, 360: 6,305,487

 

Slim and Kinect release. This year, PS3 could get a price cut, and we all know what happened last time that happened.

as will 360...

price cut will benefit ps3 far more then 360 I think everyone is pretty clear on that

When happened the last 360 price cut? Since when it was selling from $149?


in 2008 when it got its last baseline price cut, it beat PS3 in Americas and EMEAA over the holiday.


I'm not sure that right....  Isnt the official price for the 360S 4GB still $199?

You right... I checked Amazong and saw $149,00 but Microsoft official price is $199 yet.

With the Kinect bundled lowered, I don't think so. Especially as PS3's forecast doesn't indicate a $100 cut, more a $50 cut.

 emeaa isnt a country, it isnt even a continent.  I'm not sure what you are saying.  Are you saying UK isnt a place?

and no, the 360 is outsleling the PS3 in Aus and Canada both weekly and lifetime afaik

Lastest GFK graphs show 360 and PS3 tied lifetime in Aus but PS3 selling more in the year (2010)... a new report will come out in January I guess.

I even create a thread about that.


that was a small part of the point... 

he said the PS3 outsells (has outsold) the 360 everywhere outside of the US.    not so.

He was answering about America taken as a whole, not just US, and comparing it with everywhere else taken as a whole. So not the most meaningful possible comparison, but not totally wrong either, although the most precise and least ambiguous and debatable comparison would have been USA+UK+Canada+Australia vs. everywhere else, but he admitted later he's very weak at Geography. He considered whole major markets as VGC groups them, anyway, so, writing on VGC forum, it was less ambiguous and debatable than if he did it in forums where this convention isn't used.

It makes me very happy the PS3 and Wii are outselling 360 everywhere else.
