“I don’t think [360 will] be around in 10 years so I’m very confident we’ll pass them within that time frame,” said the exec, speaking to IGN.

“I mean, we’ve got 31 million [units sold] worldwide right now — they’ve got 39 million [units sold]. I don’t even need to go out 10 years.

“I’m not going to make any predictions for your interview today other than we’ll pass them, but you look at where we are today and where they are today, and they had an opportunity to sprint as far ahead of us as possible when they had the head start.

“Well, we’re breathing down their necks and they can see us in the rearview mirror and it’s not going to take too long to pass them.”</blockquote>

Playstation 3 hardware growth is fairly strong at the moment, with XBOX 360 sales flattening. The industry points to a cheaper XBOX 360 and much harder marketing from Microsoft this year, but no one really knows what Sony has planned yet. The year could be critical for both companies.

Nintendo however, would like a word.
