You're leaving out the spike that comes every holiday. Last year both consoles sold around 3.5 million over November and December alone:

Assuming the ps3 continues to outsell the 360 by a similar percentage over the coming holiday as it has over the rest of the year, then the ps3 could shave off almost a million of the 360's lead over this November and December alone.

And then there's the '09 Holiday season to think about as well...

I still believe that the ps3 will pass up the 360 in total consoles sold by the end of 2009.

 

The key word is bolded.
