Since the Wii software sales lost their momentum a long while ago and in many weeks this year PS3 and 360 are still selling the most games, it is only a matter of time until they close the gap to the Wii software sales.

With only 13.5 million software units behind, the 360 will probably pass the Wii in the next months.

But when do you think the PS3 software sales will also pass the Wii? It's currently 75 million units behind.

Do you think the PS3 can pass the 360 next year or will the 360 software sales stay ahead forever? That gap is shrinking, but not very fast. Will the longer PS3 support do the trick?

And does the 360 has a chance to pass the combined software sales of Wii and Wii U (40 million units difference) or will the Wii U gain enough momentum before that happens?

end of 2014 360 will be ahead of wii

ps3 will never, because of the ps4

Wow, the 360 could end up with the most amount of software sold last gen. Pretty good for the 360. It might be third place in units sold but will be first place in software sold.

360 will probably end up 1st in software and keep 2nd in hardware. Not a bad result :).

You mean 3rd

How is the 360 second in hardware?

83.7m shipped 360 as end of march 2014

80m shipped ps3 as of november 2. 2013

And by this you're assuming the xbox 360 is still ahead,by comparing 2013 shipments to 2014?Cool.

what about u?

u assuming the different by comparing 2013 to 2014 shipments?

here u got sonys 2014 shipments

we just have to substract the ps4 sales

so -4.2 million q3

- 2.8 - 2.9 million q4

- X million ps3 alredy be in that 80m shipped number from november 2013 (q3 2013 shippments = oktober - dezember)

best numbers we have

We won't know the exact amount of ps3s shipped to this point but we know it is very undertracked from the shimpents Sony have just given.Over 100 million ps3s,ps4s and vitas shipped to date.Lets say 9 million ps4s shipped,same for vita that leaves you with the rest being ps3s.So over 100 million can be anything from 101 to 120 million.We can assume all day,lets just go by Vgchartz numbers for now that the ps3 is still ahead.
