exactly

For as long as the xbox did on the ps2.artiedeadat40

*Facepalm*

Unless MS launches their next box in 2009, or a major price drop( which is unlikely knowing MS), the ps3 will pass it by the mid of 2009 IMO.

Must remember the situation will not remain static and IMO, MS holds all the Aces.

Why does it matter? They will still be in second place by a huge margin.heretrix

What MS said during their press conference about surpassing the PS3 this gen came to my mind when I read this, lol.

ONCE Gt5 comes out the ps3 will dominate everyone.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

With the exception of Wii, i'd have to agree. GT5P itself sold like 3mil already I believe.

ANALOGY. 360 is a ferrari Enzo, ps3 is a mclarren mercedes slr.

Enzo will take off quicker but by brute force the germans will win with superior power andcold hard steel! Achtung baby!

You obviously don't know anything about the GT series.. you do know that Gran Turismo 3 sold 14 million units, right? Gran turismo 2 and 3 sold 9.5mil each. And Gran Turismo 1 sold almost 11 mil.

And GT5P boosted PS3 sales in europe by alot. :|

Also, GT is an AAA series.

are GT fanboys and cows really going to wait two years for some bumper car sim ??? You obviously think so and I think its ridiculous because the ps3 isnt going to be catching up until thi generation is over.

I don't care if it comes out in 2010. You said that it won't sell millions and I proved you wrong ... pretty hard.

Oh and the Lambergotti Fastarossa is from The Simpsons so it's a "Fake Supercar" which is why I used it for Wii. :evil:

Why I cant think of one game I could get on a ps3 that I couldnt play on the 360. I could think of a few 360 games I would like that I couldnt ge on a ps3.

Why is "Already Caught Up" not an option?dsmccracken

Because the PS3 is still in 3rd in Total Sales.

The PS3 is going to catch up by the end of this year. :|

I see now. For some reason I read it to mean catching up in game quality, not sales.

Besides the Wii, has any other console caught up to its competition before? Just wondering.

I think it could catch up to the 360 in terms of game quality within 9-16 months.ONLYDOD

Are you serious?

[QUOTE="sireclaborn"]isn't there a 4 million gap between the 360 and ps3. mabris

Down from a 7-8 million unit gap last year

Well, the only advantage the 360 ever had was a year on the PS3, and RROD, which may have contributed to more 360 sales. Maybe MS made a faulty machine on purpose. Most reports have proved that the PS3 gained certain milestones in shorter time than the 360 did in the same amount of time since their respective launches.

Really, though, I find it impressive that the 360 has sold this well despite only mattering in two of the three markets.
