PS3 finally catching up to Wii’s console sales?

Statistically speaking, sales for Sony‘s Playstation 3 still have some catching up to do with it’s Nintendo counterpart. Some statisticians from Sony, however, had something to say according to the numbers they’ve crunched regarding the current sales of the Wii compared to the PS3.

While the Wii is definitely still leading in sales, Sony’s figures suggest that the four to one lead in units sold by Wii since June have been reduced to a three to one lead this past August 26, and thus show that Nintendo’s lead over its rival was “slowing.”

However, despite the supposed slow down in the Wii’s sales, Sony’s PS3 has yet to surpass Nintendo in at least a month’s sale before they can actually catch up to their other rivals. In fact, the only time PS3 actually held a sales lead against the Wii was in November last year.

The Wii still dominates in places like UK with a staggering one million units sold in just 38 weeks. The PS2 was the only other console to sell as fast in the region, taking up to 50 weeks before reaching the one million mark as well.

In retrospect, with the way the Wii’s sale are going, it has been predicted that it will overtake the Xbox’s own sales well before Christmas. Of course, there’s no denying that Sony’s shiny black console has been gaining momentum.

The sales figures should be very interesting especially as we head towards the holiday season.
