Even though that ps3 may never catch the wii. It will be close to the 360 weather it surpasses it or not. If the 360 gets 58 million lifetime but the ps3 get 49 million or vise versa it is still great performance. The ps3 is here to stay no matter what people think. Look at the gamcube 21 million in 5 1/2 years is bad but I loved the cube and there where great games just not as many games as xbox and ps2

Still its good to see that the PS3’s sales have gone up even though it had a not so good Christmas.

 

Unless Halo 9 is already in the dev stages, 360 will never hit + 50 million.

 

And when it hits 40 million in Q4 09 or Q1 10?  Will you still hold that same opinion?

they have nothing to drive sales in Q4 or Q1 10

unless Halo 9 or Gears 5 happens the only thing that will push 360s is a $99 price.

I think the sales of the 360 are a bit off topic here guys.

The 40% year over year rise is decent, but it is expected that the 2nd year will be considerably higher than the first

From this we can predict December's sales
