Forums - Sales - Predictions - When Will PS3 overtake X360 WW?

LanceX2 said:
...it almost if not closed the gap of entire 2011 sales between both consoles. Ps3 has over 3 million to catch up too. And if Xbox sells alot more on Christmas I just dont see Ps3 overtaking UNTIL next generation.

You two seem to be ignoring that I agree PS will sell more next generation just not this one


We still have to wait until the end of the year to have the yearly WW balance: if, like it seems, XB360 sells more during the holidays, but PS3 keeps the yearly sales leadership, it could happen that once they be close enough (at this pace not in 2012, that's for sure), PS3 surpass XB360 during the first 3 quarters, but then XB360 on its turn surpass it again during Q4 and then PS3 have to surpass it again to get the 2nd place definitively. And if PS3 annual gain won't be big enough and MS will keep XB360 alive long enough, this swap could even happen again before PS3 accumulate a lead large enough to not be reverted again. It'd be wonderful, imagine the repeated meltdowns of the opposite fans! And most probably Lard Ballmer wouldn't survive more than twice, cholesterol, triglycerides, cocaine and strong emotions aren't kind to coronaries.

Answers are mostly stupid because Americans once again think they're alone is this big world ! Black Friday gave 360 a huge lift (in US) but Europe will massively buy PS3s this Christmas (2:1 ratio).

You do know that we have tracking numbers for both America and Europe.  Americas Holiday Sales lift is much much higher and favors the 360 far more than Europe favors the PS3.

The 1st week of December in the Americas is doubled by the Christmas week.

Compared to Europe which Christmas week is up by about 25% compared to the 1st week of December.

In fact in the Americas the doubling has basically occurred by the week before Christmas week.  And this is after the massive Black Friday week in the US.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

We will see how big Christmas lift in Europe was when shipments numbers arrive.

Almost 1/3 (as population, not number of countries) of EU, including my country, is currently up to the neck in the shit, and if we sink, it will hit the fan also for other countries, I'm even surprised to see so many people shopping anyway, but I guess most are hunting for the best offers.
