In most of the rest of the world, the PS3 is selling better than the 360 did at the same point in the lifecycle.

This is why the worldwide numbers match almost exactly.

I honestly believe that while the format war is helped by the PS3, it's hurting the PS3 sales. If people were confident in Blu-Ray, the PS3 would sell more.

I think its selling great for its price range. $399 and $499 is a lot of money. It sold as much as X-box 360 did when it was 2yrs old and that was priced lower. Thats what the OP is trying to say.

Just wanted to correct what might be a typo. When the XBOX360 was one year old. It will be interesting to see how things look when the PS3 is 2 years old (near end of next year) compared to the XBOX360 now (at 2 years old).

When the 360 was a year old, it was in a coffin waiting to be returned to MS.

Thanks, I am getting ahead of myself here.

I think we're going to see much higher PS3 sales in Europe, Australasia and Asia help close the gap in TOTAL sales next year and the difference in US sales will reduce considerably so that's no longer helping the 360 keep its year sales lead.

The PS3 will do just fine.
