But you really think it´s moving fast enough for that to happen next year?

 

 Look at the figures.

The PS3 won't pass the 360 until Microsoft releases a new console.

@ PS360

yeah but not only the 360 still has BIG games to coming this year, remember ps3 has LBP and Resistance 2 for the holidays, not to mention still mgs4, Gt5 Prologue. and more games to coming. So 360 with the price cut is only beat the ps3 in NA.

@JGarret:

Yes they are... thats a good point, wait a sec while i think of how i missed that..... right done.

I retract my previous statement on the preface that it was wrong.

My new statement is as follows:

The PS3 has seen a higher jump in hardware sales than the X360 has compared year on year (2007 vs 2008) and if the PS3 was able to outsell the X360 last Holiday season despite having no real big hitting title and being alot more expensive then it will no doubt outsell it this holiday season by an even bigger margin therefore closing the gap between Sony and MS. With another price cut at the start of next year (March ish time) then the PS3 can keep selling more than the X360 and consistently outsell week on week by even larger margins than it is this year and with the gap down to 5.5 million then it won't be long if it is outselling the X360 by 20k a week on average and by 0.75 - 1million during the holidays 08 then by the end of the year the gap between X360 and PS3 will be down to

1'000'000 + 440'000 = 1'440'000 gap down to 4'060'000

750'000 +440'000 = 1'190'000 gap down to 4'310'000

So the gap between PS3 and X360 will be between 4million and 4.5million by the end of the year, that is actually quite a lot to catch up in one year but with Killzone2, GranTurismo5, inFamous and others releasing exclusively for the PS3 next year i have no doubt that the PS3 will be able to close the gap by the end of 09 or be within 0.5million - 1million consoles sold of doing so.



End of 2014 Hardware Predictions (03/03/14)

PlayStation 4: 12-15million

Xbox One: 7-10 million

Wii U: 8-9 million (Changed 01/04/2014 from 7-9 --> 8-9 million)

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

 Actually after the price drop the Ps3 only Avg. about 110k a week last year and this year they are already avg. 190k a week... I don't think y.o.y sales will decrease.

Proof:

Last year:

http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=Total&start=39278&end=39397

I didn't include weeks after Black friday since that begins the holiday season.

About 114k a week

This year:

http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=Total&start=39453&end=39649

About 193k a week.

and the sales will def. pick up for the holidays.
