That's probably already happened. SONY shipped a total of 77 million consoles by last December.

Since Sony is still putting out great games as BEYOND and LAST OF US, they sure deserve that little edge over the also very cool Xbox360. In my opinion, PS3 today is a better console, eith the improved PSN, the psplus and all the exclusives, so, if Sony ends a little ahead, it just show that gamers are smart.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I think that was just their estimate of where shipments would be. However, in an interview with Tretton in late Feb, he did say he thought they were close to 77M at that time. Even if he was wrong, and it was actually 76M, the PS3 is still undertracked by at least 2M. I'd guess the gap has been under a million for quite some time. Wish Sony would stop with the PS3+PS2/PSV+PSP just to hide the Vita shipments, then we would have known sooner.

PS Plus is awesome but PSN took a step back with it's redesigned font. It's still so sluggish.
Agree it would be a fitting end to see PS3 finally over take the 360 since it had the better first party support in the end while MS just fizzled that part out and focused on Kinect.

Oh I know. It could have been less than a million a month or two ago for all we know. |
Or not =P

If PS3 could pass Wii eventually would that be big? I think so as it shows how much longevity their consoles have compared to the competition to stay in people's hearts and minds longer. |
I totally agree!

And Jack Tretton..
Sony may pass xbox 360 worldwide, but not in the UK and USA.
The only way PS3 surpasses Xbox in the UK and USA is if Microsoft pulls Xbox 360 out of retail before Sony pulls the PS3 out of retail. Which may be for a long time yet, as the PS2 is still in retail.
The company that should be celebrating is Microsoft. The first Xbox sold 24 million lifetime.
The PS3 selling this much was always a possibility once Sony dropped the price.
The thing is PS3 has not been profitable for Sony. While the Xbox 360 has been profitable for Microsoft.
The one billion dollar question is where would the PS3 be today if Sony choose to make a profit and kept the
PS3 price at $400.
Another question would be what if Microsoft chose to go for sales instead of profits, where would Xbox 360 sales
be today?
Microsoft chose profitability over sales. Which is crucial if you want to stay in business.
Just some points for all you Playstation fanboys to think about.
