It's easily apparent that the PS3 has been faring better within the recent months. Boosted sales of the PS3 Slim and the popularity of Uncharted 2 has surged PS3 sales to stratospheric heights.GamerNode
Did I miss something? Since when is September counted as more than 1 month? Ramping up to the release of the PS3 Slim, PS3 sales were really struggling. My money says, all of the missed sales Sony had in June (when the rumor bug on the Slim became deafening) through August, all purchased their PS3's in September.

At its current pace you're correct. But even if it continues on this path it will take another 15 years at least. 360s lead is too big for it to catch up in a timeframe that matters.

until they completely outsell both wii and 360 then they could talk, also about mayweather and pacman, we'll never know till they get in the ring which is way overdue because of floyds dramas, but one thing for sure, pacman is more exciting to watch than floyd, pacman saved the boxing industry coz it hast been watchable since tyson and dela hoya prime

Wow that article if it can be called that, made less sense than many of the Sony fans in this site which really doesn't say a lot for it. First here's an article showing a near 10 million difference between the XBOX360 and PS3: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6237794.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;2 And that article thinks the PS3 can catch up in 2009, lol. Try 2019.

Oh, just checked the source, it explains a lot, source is: Sonyinsider , no wonder it made no sense.

Mr.Veritgo you do realise that the Xbox 360 is generating sales as well, so the PS3 will not over take Xbox 360 any time seem. The 360 has 34 million while the ps3 has 25-26 million. There is a long ways to go for the PS3.

It's hard to tell. To catch up in a 2-year time window, it would need to sell about 200K consoles a month more than the 360 (so it would make up about 5M a year). It managed that in the first month with the $299 Slim, but that gap seems likely to narrow since the debut of a new model and a price drop is not something that's happening every month. I think they could be roughly even by the end of this generation in 2012, but I don't think the PS3's going to get any significant lead on the 360.

Eventually the Cubs will win a world series. Eventually I will die. Eventually the sun will die, swallowing our planet in a massive fireball.

If it happens, it will be after the next generation consoles are out. Just relax and enjoy some great games.

geez some people need some leasons in basic logic

with 360's current lead, the PS3 will need to sale a crazy amount more than the 360 to catch it in any reasonable amount of time (its not like the 360 will stop selling and lets not forget, this gen is over in about 3 years)

and from looking at PS3's "less than expected" September sales, its clear this is not going to happen, especially when the 360 has Natal coming

the 360 already has the hardware, both consoles are equal, instead of just random satements, why don't you prove that the 360 can't run MGS4, oh that's right,you can't, until you can prove it your statement is an opinion and not fact, anyway, back on topic, the ps3 will probably not outsell the 360, the gap is too large, too far into the gen, but stranger things have happened ,so let's wait and see shall we

First and foremost, the PS3 was never touted to 'eventually' take over. From the very beginning it was dubbed as the winner of this gen. Sony, as well as the fanboys, crowned it King. The reality is that it is dead last, and will continue to be dead last. And, since it's launch, everyone has been spewing 'wait til,...' over and over again as well as coming up with some strange excuses as to why it isn't King; "The 360 is preventing the PS3 from creating wonder graphics, the developers botched the port, everyone needs to get a better paying job, reviewers are all purposely biased towards the PS3". It's all out there and pretty sad.

This is true unfortunately. Sony was way too confident going into this generation. But with the sales of the PS2, who can blame them?

Hasn't this been proven physically impossible? The 360 has a 10 million lead. In order for the PS3 to over take it, 360 sales would have to tank and PS3 sales would have to skyrocket.

Does it really matter if the PS3 beats the 360 or vice versa? Unless I missed something the Wii is number one in sales. People can spew that it's aiming for another demographic all they want, but in the end it looks like it'll end up being the number one selling console this gen...................P.S. I play games not sales

LOL. I highly doubt it, especially when PS3 has been struggling to overtake the 360 for second place for 3 years now. Come back when Sony matches some market share that the Wii & 360 have.

Unfortunately for Sony no, it won't happen. Bad marketing choices and initial high prices cut ps3 momentum before it even started. I will admit that now ps3 slim might help Sony narrow the gap a little bit but the *** company shot itself in the foot this gen. Look at what they did with psp go. No umd and it costs more than older models. Oh and who cares if someone wants to buy used games? Hope they learned the lesson and the will offer a more valid competition next generation....
