Now that's a sensible prediction

Actually.... hang on I think I saved some people's predictions from earlier in the year....

Aha.. Crazzyman had these ranges for PS3/360 around January of this year:
PS3: 42-45 mln., X360: 35-38 mln


So he was anticipating the PS3 to be a minimum of 4 million ahead, but possibly 10 million.

It could happen, despite what your opinion or our analysis indicate, it can still happen.. its not a hurricane that we could track and give out scenerios, the PS3 is a consumer device, it depends on how many people decide to buy it.

...he expected 23 million ps3's sold....

The gap will be back to 4.8 million

Ha what... you do know what analysts are right.

It is a lot LOT easier to predict and give scenarios for consumer sales than it is for hurricane paths.

If 360 sales are even in the same neighborhood as last years then this is impossible.

I don't mean highly improbably, I mean impossible. I don't think Sony has the production capacity in place to do this, so what consumers want will only matter so much.

If you mean the PS3 will sell more than 360 WW for the rest of the year, you might have a chance, if you mean the PS3 will overtake LTD sales WW by the end of the year that seems a lot less likely.

And I do mean a lot less. The PS3 would need to fly of the shelves faster than they can make them to push through more than 8M in additional sales over 360 by 31st December.

if your going to make crazy predictions about ps3 overtaking the 360 please do it in this thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=5338 for posterity

lol you finally have seen the truth Kowenicki. If the gap shrinks from the current 8.3 mill to 5 mill in 4 months, you actually agree the X360 will be crushed by the Slim.

We can't deny reality, no matter how grim it is.
