[QUOTE="DrinkDuff"][QUOTE="coolpixel"] Ok so the ps3 is currently about 9.5 mil units sold.
The 360 is at about 16 million units sold.
Difference of about 6.5 mil.
In 2008 worldwide the ps3 will push about 10 mil units or so pushing its total sales to 19.5 mil or so.
The 360 will push around 2-3 mil at best with its lackluster lineup and hardware problems putting it at 19 mil at best.
Hence it would be a pretty good assumption to assume the ps3 will be ahead at the end of 2008/

The PS3 would have to sell an astronomical amount of units. You are not even attempting to do the math. If you did, you would know that the PS3 would have to sell about a million of units worldwide every month MORE than the 360. It is almost impossible for the PS3 to surpass the 360 in 08. You are making a grave amount of assumptions. We don't know the official number of worldwide sales for either the PS3 or 360 except shipped, but even going with the numbers you have, it's still not possible. Why would the rate of sales of the 360 drop off so significantly? It doesn't make any sense. Using your logic, I can also assume the PS3's lineup will be delayed and the PS3 selling rate will be 1/4 of what it was in 07. But I won't because that is absurd, just like your claims. But yeah, go ahead, neglect logic and reality, and keep yourself blind and ignorant. :roll:
You are the one ignoring the math which has been done more than once in this thread already. And no, there are very realistic situations where the PS3 only needs to sell 1 million a month (which is only 300,000 more world wide than they currently sell) to catch up this year. It would NOT have to sell 1,700,000 a month to beat the 360. Especially considering if YOU did the math, the 360 only averages about 550,000 consoles a month world wide in 2007. The PS3 averaged 690,000 a month in 2007.
PAL launch year for the PS3, without that the "average" would be much lower.
I don't know how you're making these averages either, considering the European market has no offical numbers, as repeated every 3 seconds on this forum.
