2) PS3 is getting more games, and has MORE value for 400$/Euro then x360 had one year ago at that price.)

3) Actual YTD sales of PS3 are around 5,5-6 mln. or avg. 1 mln. per month. PS3 will without problem make avg. 1 mln. per month next 6 months. Which will result in 12 mln. at minimum or 21 mln. by the end of the year. BUT, with Christmas boost it can sell additional 3-4 mln. which will result into 15-16 mln. PS3 or 24-25 mln. by the end of year. =)
