The VGChartz Gap Charts Monthly Update for June 2010 - News

Xbox 360 v PS3
Here we have three charts representative of the three main regions as recorded by VGChartz, and a global chart which brings all of the data together. The line on each graph represents the gap in the install base (sales through to consumers), and the title indicates which console is in the lead in the particular region covered.
Americas
360 lead is 9,410,013
Japan
PS3 lead is 3,976,202
Others (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia)
PS3 lead is 447,974
Global
360 lead is 4,985,837
HD Consoles (PS3 + 360) v Wii
For the Wii to reach 50% market share (total install base) the line must drop below zero
HD lead is 3,948,087
360 v PS3
In the Americas the 360 has improved its lead this month especially in the last two weeks since the 360S launched. There is clearly no stopping the 360 in this battle. Some big games have come and gone, supply is now back to acceptable levels and yet the 360 still marches on. This is likely to widen further over the coming weeks and months as the 360S, Halo Reach and Kinect keep the 360 in the minds of the consumer.
A stark contrast in the Others and Japan regions where the PS3 has continued to push on, admittedly this has slowed somewhat but it is still one way traffic in the whole of 2010. Japan is a done deal in favour of the PS3. The hard fought Others region continues its swing towards the PS3 and this is where Microsoft may hope to turn the tide, but it will be very tough for them.
The Global gap chart is now just under 5.0m. Remember that the gap when the PS3 launched in November 2006 was 5,433,893. The gap has not only slowed dramatically recently but it has actually turned and increased again during June.
HD v Wii
The Wii performance seems to be settling down after some volatile performance earlier this year perhaps in the face of US supply issues. However, the level that it has settled at is lower than the combined HD consoles and so the gap continues to grow. The PS3 performance may have fallen back a little over the most recent months but this will now be offset by increasing 360 numbers.

I love charts like these...they're so interesting.
ale666 yes the wii has more than the 360 or the ps3 but what the chart shows it what it would take to have over 50% of the market for itself. Which it was rather close to pulling off. You say it's not fair but if it had over 50% then you'd just say it has more than the 2 combined.
@Scoobes
This is clearly a hardware analysis chart mate, no software numbers are in sight ;) Although a total software chart would be interesting .
@ ale666
It's somewhat fair if you look at software. The majority of HD games appear on both 360 & PS3 and never appear on Wii and the majority of Wii games are exclusive to Wii. There is just so little to distinguish between the HD consoles software-wise.
2 vs 1 is not really fair game now is it? Sorry brent you need to revise your work here as its incomplete so let me help you out with whats missing.;
WW Ds vs psp = 72.5M Ds ahead
WW Wii vs 360 = 31.7M Wii ahead
WW Wii vs PS3 = 36.7 M Wii ahead
Hope to see a more accurate and complete effort next month, do not take it personally but i think its a fair observation to make between honest people ;)
i love these chartz
The 360 is going to be strong throughout this generation. The same is true for PS3. Anyone hoping for one to lose and the other to win will have to wait for the next generation.
