8.4 million year to date or 8.4 million in 1 week? I doubt seriously that PS3 sold that many in 1 week.

Do we have the figures here for North America?

Waiting for 90:10 Neilson.... hummm we will ever be to go there or stay in that unsure 61:39 ratio...

PS3 has outsold xbox 360 for the past few weeks and the gap seems to widening. The PS3 software sales passed xBox 360 also.

A 70:30 ratio will be enough for retailers to pull the plug on HD DVD. The presence of HD DVD software will begin to diminish in the first quarter as retailers make room for more Blu-ray titles.

I think you mean narrowing, i.e. decreasing the lead the X360 has over the PS3.

I think he meant every week the gap is getting bigger...

yeah, that could be argued either way.

Though realistically, unless the PS3 just blows up in 2008, it's going to be a coupole years before Sony completely makes up all that lost ground. I think they will...perhaps not in North America, but on a worldwide basis, since PS3 is handily outselling the 360 in Europe now, and the 360 might as well not exist in Japan.

And just think, the PS3 had to compete with 2 next-gen consoles, and cost $500 and $600 up until Q3 '07, whereas the 360 launched alone and was priced at $300 and $400.

No, he was referring to the weekly delta not the overall installed base. RIF.

Here are some fun calculations made with the VGchartz numbers:

November 2007
1st Week 222 455
2nd Week 242 097
3rd Week 356 894
4th Week 381 207
Total Worlwide = 1 202 653

NPD reports USA hardware sales for the PS3 in November 2007 as 466 000 which means 39% of Worldwide sales came from the U.S.


December 2007
Total Worlwide (3 weeks) = 1 583 699
1st Week 439 404
2nd Week 524 907
3rd Week 619 388
4th Week ??? ???
Total (3 weeks) = 1 583 699
Extrapolation for 4th week = 500 000
Projected 4 week total = 2 083 699
Assuming the same 39% Worldwide share for the U.S. and you get 812 642 U.S. PS3 purchases for December 2007

We'll see how the math holds up then NPD releases "official" December numbers sometime in mid-January. One thing is for sure --> HD DUD is in BIG trouble Would'nt have it any other way
