TVG research has shown that at each console's current rate of growth, sales of PlayStation 3 units will overtake those of the Xbox 360 in January 2011 according to sales figures published by Microsoft and Sony to-date.

 

Since being launched in November 2006 (March 2007 in Europe), the PS3 has tallied 24.6 million units according to Sony's latest fiscal report, whereas Microsoft has sold 30.2 million Xbox 360s since its launch in November 2005.

 

When we plotted these sales against a line of best fit and extended that line to project a 10-year lifecycle for each console, the PS3's sales overtook the Xbox 360's in January 2011, approximately five years into the current-gen lifecycle.

 

Graphs showing these extended sales projections can be found here for the PS3 and here for the Xbox 360.

 

While this is merely an estimation of future sales according to current sales trends, it does nonetheless reveal that Sony has been selling PS3s at a faster rate than Microsoft has Xbox 360s. This is despite higher total sales for Microsoft's console, which are the result of a one year head start on the market.

 

Future price cuts for each console, changing market factors such as HD adoption, and unreleased technology (e.g. Project Natal and the PS3 Slim) will no doubt alter current growth rates in the future months and years. Nonetheless, our findings do fly in the face of currently accepted wisdom in the industry.

 

This article was made before PS3 slim came out which has sold 1 million units in 3 weeks.

really? they have the same hardware? news to me

 

We can both buy NBA 2K10 and play with our friends online, whats the difference?

 

Same graphics, same games (pretty much), online gaming for both is reliable, etc.

 

Systems arent the exact same but they do the exact same.

 

360 fanboys are penis pumping their system.

um, because its more fun and there are better games?

 

More fun? We are playing the same exact games, lmfao.

 

Better games? PS3 actually has more quality exclusives

 

Little Big Planet

God of War 3

Resistance 2

Haze

Killzone 2

Uncharted 2

Metal Gear Solid 4

Gran Turismo 5

Upcoming Twisted metal

 

360 has.

 

Left 4 Dead 2

Gears of War 2

Mass Effect 2

Halo 3 (which I think is a gay game regardless)

 

The people who say 360 GAMES ARE BETTA! are stupid and dont know what they are talking about.

 

And 360 exclusives are starting to get on both systems.

 

Look at Saints Row and Dead Rising, people know the PS3 will outsell the xbox in little time.

OH BOY, YOU PAY 60$ A YEAR TO DOWNLOAD A DEMO 2 MINUTES EARLIER THAN ME, I AM SO MAD! i HATE YOU 360 > PS3 BECAUSE YOU DOWNLOADED CHARLIE'S REVENGE 120 SECONDS BEFORE I DID!

theres more to speed. 15 minutes is a big difference, and it plays a factor into lag.

and i pay $35 for 13 months.
