Forums - Sales - How badly will the 360 beat the PS3 during the week of Black Friday?

American? Probably 2:1

Worldwide? Probably 1.5: 1



Around the Network

Black Friday doesn't really exist anywhere else, so I assumed it was just North America. It's a little bit of a trick question, isn't it, Legend? Sort of like the question: Is Bodhesatva awesome, or really awesome? You ask: Will the 360 beat the PS3, or destroy the PS3? I agree that the 360 will likely handily outsell the PS3 on Black Friday, and leave it at that.

It looks like Microsoft and its retail partners are pulling out all the stops this coming Black Friday.  Anyone care to guess just how large the sales gap between the 360 and PS3 will be?

 

lol dont count out WalMart's PS3 sale on Black Friday =P

I know Ps3 can't get any less than 500 sales that week =P



The US gap for black friday will be 2:1.

It may actually grow further for december when the casual buying kicks into high gear and the undiscounted price will be a major factor. A 2.5:1 in December is a possiblity.

In "Others" we'll see a 1.5:1 ratio through the holidays and in Japan about a 1:1 from now till the end of the year.

All together I think the ratio will be around 1.65:1 for the 360.



Prediction made on 11/1/2008:

Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox,  9M PS3

Are we talking about the Americas only, or worldwide? If we're talking worldwide, some of these predictions seem fairly unlikely.

I am talking Americas only.

Thanksgiving is a US holiday. Does black friday even happen outside the US?
