This is not a good time for such speculation. Just like last year with the 360, when you speculate about this right after a console has a price cut, the holiday season or a huge software release, it skews EVERYTHING.

Right now people are really excited about the PS3 sales, but just last year around this same time the 360 had reversed the sales trend and the gap went from 5.5 mil to 8 mil +. At that time the 360 looked untouchable, JUST LIKE THE PS3 DOES NOW.

So lets not overreact to the current sales numbers. The economy, motion controllers, unannounced software titles and price cuts can skew any and all of these predictions.

The most REASONABLE response, though, would be the 360 just because it's so much closer. That's speaking, as someone mentioned earlier, with the head and not the heart.

I can see where the audiance is........... kinda take away the old people and (80%) of the girls and then the lazy people. I think people who think it's going to be succesful like the wii are setting themselves up for an even bigger dissapointment.

maybe I am all hyped up becuase of the sales, but i think its good/interesting just to see what people say now and how different there thoughts will be when they look back after one of the consoles does hit 50 million

OMG ur still going at this, it looks like rainbow (by the way someone missed out orange)

Yeh, I know.

I think some people are forgetting that 2010 is going to have tons of software and PS3 will be on top when it comes to software. Look at MAG, it will be a hit in America, so will GoW3, GT5 will move over 700k first week and this game alone will guarantee that PS3 will always stay ahead in EU.

What I'm predicting is that PS3 will sell 4 million in its first four months, 4 million from May to August and 7 million in the last remaining months. Thats a total of 15+ million for the year while I think that 360 will only manage 11 million at best for the year. Though I believe we will see $150 Arcade and $250 Elite around September, but this really will only boost NA and UK by quite alot and otherwise PS3 will still be dominating in Japan and EU.

So I think the gap will only be 1 million by the end of 2010 and PS3 will overtake 360 no longer than June 2011. After that it'll be PS3 who reaches 50 million first.

But this is just my prediction and I think too many people think Natal will be the 360's saviour.   

what your point eliasg 900k bunch of cheaters and brats playing mw2 on live ...
same thing with the ps3

The masses? ok let me explain this to you elderly people play the wii     No controller makes casual games even less confusing... +elderly I'd love to see an elderly person get past the dashboard The system can be set up to not go into the dashboard a lot of Females love the wii   Fitness games that track complete body movement and use Xbox Live to compare workout stats, etc... +females what fitness games have been announced or are you making assumptions? if they do make fitness games, will people who already own a wii and wii fit buy the copy cat version so they can have both? People never buy whatever the latest fitness craze is right?  That's why there's no fitness industry anymore... kids love the wii  Kids will love Milo & Kate... +kids Milo was scripted And...?  Do you think kids are really expecting the next AI breakthrough?  They'll be happy to finger paint witha character on the screen. Blokes mostly like the wii because they know if they get it to make the wife happy they might get "some" that night.  See above... +"blokes" see above his wife would probably hit him for wasting money on something they already have No worries since it'll probably be the wives buying it anyways. That is the mass audience the wii sold too, my nan plays the wii, can you imgine what games and elderly person would like to play on NATAL? can you imagine your nan playing halo reach???  No but does she like game shows?  What about bowling?  What about playing with her nephew from afar and being able to see him! If she likes bowling i think everyone would recomned to her the wii> 360 any day of the week Wait, the same nan that couldn't bypass a dashboard earlier is going to prefer trying to figure out a Wii remote over using just her body? do you imagine lots of women who like the wii wanting to jump ships really?  Yes I can actually when new fitness software that emphasis group experiences is released.  That's the power of Natal + Xbox Live. No use common sense its a waste of money on what they already have Is that why the fitness and weight loss industries are so big?  and what happens to the blokes who can't be arsed to get up jump around and pretend to shoot after a hard days work, the people that just want to use a controller, Yes nintendo took the chance and make it well, Microsoft is blatantly copying but its really not going to work out the same Blantantly copying?  Do you mean with a "wand" like controller?  Or can you show me all the hands free gesture driven Nintendo games?  like i said earlier in the thread yes microsoft and sony are copying, but sony knows from first hand expirience not to put there all into it, which seems to be what they are doing with natal. Yeah Sony learned from the last time but Microsoft hasn't learned anything.  That's why Sony promotes their motion controller to core gamers and Microsoft to casuals, because they learned from Nintendo's success (it's Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition that is responsible for the Wii's amazing sales success not Wii Sports, right?!?). Responses in red... thanks for the update captain obvious "my responses to your responses in yellow" "Shame on Sony for being made a fool of twice!" -Anonymous gamer in 2011 "how the hell does that quote even fit in here" not an anonymouse gamer but phinch made on vg chartz I can do quotes too you know.     When sony introduced casual motion sensing and exercising together this happend it had some successand the other eye toy games after it but still some idea like this (NATAL) won 't catch the Wii success

I hear ya, just because one company doesn't have success with a product it means everyone else won't be successful with anything remotely similar to it.  Oh, did you know there was a fitness video game pad before Wii Fit?  It didn't do too well and that's the reason why Wii Fit didn't sell either.  Err wait...  Add-ons don't sell!  *looks at Wii Balance Board and tons of Wii add-ons*.......

That would actually be nice, then they could properly twins then with identicle sales lol

@ Legend, I do think Natal will sell well with Microsoft's powerful advertising, but I just don't see it having the same audience as the Wii, I guess we will have to wait and see how it pans out because really.......... non of us have a clue lol, I just want to find out what people believe now and see how it compares at a later date when this has all happend, if you get me :)
