For the love of god let me take you up on that bet.

Lets say half your life savings (I don't want to leave you poor)

Seriously the PS3 isn't even going to sell another 8 million before 2010, never mind 8 million + whatever X360 sells.

i think from now till end of 09 it will get very close to that 8mill mark

euro and japan are still strong ps supporters we dont know wat the impact of a 300$ ps3 can do in those regions

I instantly took it that he meant outsell the 360 for the year, i.e. 2009 12 month totals.

Of course, there is a flaw in his opening statement about cost - the PS3 is not as affordable as the 360 even now since there is still the cheaper Arcade model...

I really don't think so... after all it is pretty obvious that PS3 will pass 360 for the year within 3-4 weeks of the slim/price-cut... they are pretty close as it is now.

By years end in my "opinion" i feel theres a "CHANCE" at it, but i did state theres no way it would over-take the 360.

Is it really such a hard thought to think that the gap will be around 3m to 1m? i think its a reasonable mention to say the least.

For the PS3 to close the gap to 1 million it has to sell 7 million MORE than what the X360 sells in the next 4.5 months.

Let me put that into perspective for you... Last year the PS3 managed just 4.8 million in the same period of time.... obviously it will do a lot better than that this year, but to close the gap to 1 million it has to sell 7 million + X360 Christmas sales, which are not going to be as low as last years PS3 sales that's for sure.... but even if they were, that's 4.8 + 7 million = 11.8 million

It is more than likely though, that the X360 will do better than that, not quite up to last year but 5.5 million is reasonable... which now puts the PS3 needed sales to 12.5 million.

 

Feel free to take 2 million away to say the gap will be 3 million... but that is still a ludicrous figure... I will be very suprised f the "gap" has closed by more than 2 million by years end.

After Kowen wrote down the numbers i took back what i said. because he was right, that would be impossible.

Edit: 4.5m is my final bet!

Lol.. edited. (I think you meant 3.5 mil taken off anyway didn't you... so it was a wording thing)

Anyway... how many posts is it going to take to ground you down to something sensible.... I can see the PS3 selling 7 million from now till Jan at the very limit of enormous sales
The X360 could go as low as PS3 did last year, though that is a very bullish statement... but with those two scenarios in favour of PS3, it will still only catch up by 2 to 2.5 million, which would be a gap of about 6 million.

lol yeah had to edit it, it was overblown again, but i understood why atleast.

im willing to bet it at 5.5m gap being for real though. by the end of 2009.

So I brought you down another million. 0.5mil more and people might take you seriously (as I just said, those figures are really stretching it)

ps3 will surpass the 360 and create a 8 million gap lead by years end

hehe, i choose 5.5m because can't really go wrong, you can just round off to the nearst so i can swing to 6m or 5m depending on how it goes. ^_^
