2007 - Sony PS3 sells 8.83 million, XBOX 360 sells 7.3 million

Its a shame with the software lineup that the Xbox has had that it did not outpace the PS3 more.

Still, a not too insignificant number of those PS3's sold will no doubt have been purely for the blu ray capabilities.

If I was a potential buyer, I would go PS3 due to the Wi-fi connectivity (£45? extra on Xbox 360), a High Def Blu-Ray player (unavailable for XBOX360 .... at the mo ;)) and twice the hard drive space (unless you buy the elite but thats £299 - the PS3 40GB price tag), where could you go wrong?
If you price tagged the 360 with all of those features, it would come out to be at minimum of £100+ more than what the PS3 is currently going for.

Could be a good year in 2008 for PS3 to leave the Xbox360 behind! :D

Before, I get flamed, I own both both formats.

mathematically speaking it would be quite hard for the PS3 to leave the 360 behind, even if it outsold it 2/1 (which isn't going to happen anytime soon) it would still take well over a year for the PS3 to catch up let alone leave it behind.

Also a large chunk of those ps3s are the 40gb one which has (suprisingly to me) got a lot of buyers. I think Sony sold something like 2.3 mill ps3's since the price drop, which is a large chunk of the 2007 figure for what is maybe 2 months (Nov + Dec) sales.

subjective/debatable. Only an issue for people who own a 360 as well imo, and I think it is fair to assume the vast majority only own one console out of the 2 and not both.

You must be doing your maths wrong. If it outsold it 2:1 for 12 more months (worldwide) it would take well less than a year to catch up.

I dont understand this since the NDP figures showed that the 360 was outselling the PS3every month in NA.

But NPD is only certain retailers in NA (and it even excludes one or 2 very big web based companies that sell a lot of consoles). In terms of raw hardware sales, I think you could say (without checking figures initricately) USA=40%, Japan/Asia = 30% and Rest of World=30%

It is only in the USA that 360 outsells the ps3 by a vast margin weekly.

It was a very shrewd move dropping those features. No one wants them bar a few stuck up elitist folk and most people just want the games console of their choice for as little money as possible.

This has been done to death in the past, what if you don't need all those extras?
 
These figures are wrong.

EA just published some figures that shows the PS3 sold 2.8m consoles and the 360 1.9m consoles in Europe in 07. Add these to NPD (360 4.6m, PS3 2.5m) and media create (360 500k, PS3 1.5m) gives us roughly 7m each. We have to add Canada and Australia (where the 360 is winning) so I'm not sure where the additional 1.8m PS3 are coming from.
