Mortiferus – that’s what I said. Five years and two months takes us to November 2013, or one month before 2014 arrives. I was supporting the view that the PS3 will likely never catch the 360 in the US, which some dude got slapped down for insisting earlier this week.

Bronco 100k a month means Sony should catch up… by 2014. The difference in the US is steep dude. I honestly believe with the price drops 360 will outsell ps3 from here on out in the USA till next year.

Careful dude, you’ll set them off again. Apparently, anyone who thinks the 360 has a strong hold on the US is living in La La Land and should keep quiet and admit they are wrong (as some guy found out a few days ago).

Never mind the fact that even if the PS3 sold 100k a month more than the 360, EVERY single month from here on in, then, working on the basis of 300k p/m for the PS3 and 200k p/m for the 360, it would still take five years and two months before the PS3 took over the lead. Ten years and four months for a (more realistic) consistent 50k a month lead.

The Xbox 360 vs PS3 fight seems to be basically over in the USA. While PS3 may sell a few thousand more units in any particular month, the Microsoft console still has millions more sales ‘banked’.

Different story in Europe and Japan but the bottom line is that PS3 is never going to sell as many units as Xbox 360 in the USA.

We don’t really have a clue. I doubt MS is making any money on the machines after the price cut though.

I mean per machine, after the 360 price cut. Are they selling it without any profit at all? Like the PS3?

I’d like to know who actually makes the most money these days, except the obvious Wii.

Talking of PR… I just saw the Sony release. They’re back to using PlayStation family numbers and attach rates. Ouch.

I think he means the PS3 / 360 vs the rest.

Fighting for the silver, no, bronze, no.. wait, what’s less than bronze?

We’re basically saying here “look which console got the least crushed by the DS, Wii and PSP!”
