PS3 needs to sell 2x the 360 worldwide for 8 months for it to pass the 360 in a year. It currently is selling upwards of 5x the 360. (I know it will drop to a more reasonable ratio) and the whole 8 month thing I mentioned, didnt even take into account Black Friday, in which the systems can jump like a million in that single weekend. Last year the Wii sold 2 million on black friday (the 360 selling 700k and PS3 470k, this was when the 360 was half of PS3s price BTW).
Right now, the PS3 is selling like the Wii. if its selling this much (800k in 2 weeks, 1 million in 3 weeks) right now, and its not even holidays, immagine how much of the gap could be closed this holiday! Not to mention, the japanesse release of Final Fantasy 13 during CHRISTMAS! That game is going to have a Halo 3 level launch over there (to put it in perspective, FF10 launched in japan with a 5 million PS2 userbase in japan, and sold 1.9 mil its first week, IN JAPAN ALONE).
Im going to go on record saying that if things go the way they are going right now, the PS3 could close the gap by the time the holidays are completely over, or at the least, be within 1-2 million. You can put me in your sig, do whatever, but put me down in the books right now.
Also, the 360 and PS3 are currently TIED in TOTAL AAA at gamerankings, and the PS3 is winning in AAAE (and thats even INCLUDING PC/360 Multiplats!!! as 360 AAAE). But that has nothing to do with this thread, just throwing it out there just for the spirit of System Wars:P
