Worldwide, it's likely inevitable because of the absolute black hole in sales MS has i Japan.  North America?  Probably won't happen. 

Why are the sales so bad in japan

So , when someone says 360 will reach 80 million is a fanboy, but when someone else says PS3 will reach 100 millions is not a fanboy?

what about we wait.... IMO it's not done yet..... what I know from the past is that old IPs from Sony have been selling less and less along the years.... while new MS IPs have proved to sell more and more year after year... I don't see why this christmas MS couldn't do a come back like PS did this year???

I mean we know very little right now on the future of the 360 game wise....

me, I think the sales difference is going to decrease between XB and Sony around holiday season....

MS has lost japan but will probably pull some target game to sell a little better over there...

then US is still more or less in controle of MS without doing much... and europe can change trend easily if something major happens... I don't see why what happened with SONY back to PS 1 and 2 can't happen to MS to some extend....

on the other side you a right thing can stay still from now on and have PS going over XB mid 2009 and never turn back....

but I think it will be really close to each other 3 years from now... and see something like 45% of the market for Wii 26.9% for one and 28.1% for the other

1. No hardware problems
2. More future proof (BD)
3. It has outsold the 360 for like 18 weeks now, even in America the past few weeks
4. It has more exclusives on the way
5. It's momentum keeps building while the 360's stays the same or decreases.

Everything on the PS3 gets better with every firmware update, every new exclusive, everything. Multi-platform games are beginning to look better (Burnout, and from what we hear GTA4 are the latest), everything the 360 had on the PS3 is beginning to fall apart.

 I think it's mostly the price and size of the PS3, the Japanese like consoles small, but with MGS4 sales should climb back up, and I think the Japanese game line up is weaker than America/Europes, but it should all change by the end of this year.

NOT 66

Neither of you are account for the holidays or exclusives, you're both wrong. Although I do say he is probably closer than you.

NOT 66 Wrong, you say that as if for those 123 weeks the 360 doesn't sell a single console. It needs much mroe than 123 weeks to catch it, saying it sells this constant, for both the PS3 and the 360.

No you fool, the difference from week to week between the two is roughly 52,000. Therefore if that difference continued it would take 123 weeks for it to fill the 6.4 million gap, if the 360 didnt sell a single console and the PS3 kept averaging about 170k a week it would only take 37 weeks.

 

well the thing is it's hard to say for sure how the sale difference will behave holiday season... most of us seem to expect PS 3 flying even higher.... me i'm not sure.... I expect the weekly gap to tighten... we'll see who is right I don't think we have enough reliable facts to know for sure....

It's exclusive until announced otherwise.  Speculation doesn't cut it.  I mean there are now rumors going around that Red Dead Revolver 2 and L.A. Noire have gone from PS3 exclusives to multiplatform but it's still speculation until announced otherwise.
