The PS3 will overtake the 360 in Others during December 2009.
PS3 will never overtake the 360 in NA - almost 9 million deficit in that region.
PS3 will win two out of 3 regions but will not overtake the 360 in total sales until 2013.

If the $99 Arcade bundle proves one thing- its that MS can compete with SONY on that price point..sadly for MS, SONY is at $299 so I cant EVEN imagine the IMPACT of a $199 slim... Next year I would expect a $129-149 arcade,$199 elite to UP the stakes... SONY reducing the price on the SLIM until xmas next year seems unlikely. PSPgo isnt performing as well as expected and SONY has taken a hit. Others is quite a price sensitive market( 360 killed PS3 after its 2008 price cut), so a price cut is pretty much all MS has for now. Natal non-withstanding. We'll see what GT5 and FF13 do for the PS3. I'd expect them to help shorten the gap by another 1 mil units easily.

If PS3 keeps growing YoY by double digits, and 360 shrinks or grows at 4-8%.. it wont be long before SONY and MS walk shoulder to shoulder. MS already has lost a few percentage points WW in the last few wks..

FF13?  Really?  Ok...

FF13 is gonna pull the carpet under MS and ninty in japan for a few weeks EASILY. Remember how FF7 condemned the saturn to second place in japan, before which Saturn and psone were head-to-head... And If GT5:P sales are any indication.. GT5 will be huge too..
