2 years ago,didnt 360 win the holidays but barely,and least year i think the ps3 actually won or just about drew even.. ps3 really cleans up that very last week of the year dec26-31,especially with japans holiday still going on at that time. i think theres no chance of them making up the difference,ps3 might actually gain more grown on the 360. they both both should be over 80M by the end of the year or 360 should be close.. 360 will have great deals im sure, but so wont the ps3 and even the wii(as that dog inches towards 100m on 3 broken legs).


No, acording to VGChartz the 360 outsold the PS3 in the last 3 so called "hollyday season". 2010 and 2011 the 360  even outsould the PS3 globaly in the calendar year.

But this year the site made a vast adjustiment, and now we can´t have certainty of how salles have drifted thought the years.

That's not true. PS3 was ahead for 2010 and 2011, even before adjustments. It also sold more from Nov-Dec 2012 iirc before adjustments.

No, before adjustment the 360 won those years. I remember well the treads. And, if I´m not wrong, Don Matrick said at 2011 E3 that "the 360 was the leading platform in the world last year".

But, again, we can´t have certainty. The way VGChartz has been making the magic with PS3 number outside US/EUR and Japan is just another complicating factor.

Yes but the holiday season, xbox always closes the gap by a significant margin.  I'm saying that the amount that it is ahead right now, not for the calender year. If they do a big price drop, I'm sure the system is going to sell very well. We will see.

There's already a $200 PS3 and come the holidays I'm sure it'll be bundled with 2 games at least for the same price. So, no.



Yes but Xbox can drop to $100 if they really wanted.

Isn't the New Xbox 360 slim they showed at E3 is $100?

2 things about this thread make me laugh

1: Not so long ago, the question was always the other way around (i.e can the ps3 catch the 360) and the answer on here was always a resounding no.

2: it seems awfully convenient that the sales from the current gen magically don't matter anymore.



the fact that I brought it up gives it relevance. It's so close together that I don't think anyone saw how close sales would be for this gen. Almost exactly the same.

No chance considering the only exclusive they have coming out is Fable HD...


It's not like gt6 and beyong are going to move consoles.... espeically with the ps4 releasing. 



I agree, I think the price of the console is going to have more of a effect then games at this point. The games are already out there.

So I think MS is going to have to  drop price.  MS Drop it to $100 permanently. This will slam system's out the door.

Xbox 360 will sell much more this holiday season. But do not think ahead to Ps3. Shame. Still takes 8 years as leader.
