A lot of people are assuming the PS3 will have a better holiday this year than the 360 did last year. I don't think this is at all likely -- last year the PS3 was all of the buzz and it wasn't even selling out everywhere? It had very high availability in early January.
Why should we assume the PS3 will magically have a huge boost this holiday? It will be facing a lot of competition the 360 didn't really face during its second holiday (primarily the Wii, which had almost no market saturation). I'd be happy for Sony if the PS3 had a better holiday in '07 than the 360 had in '06, but I really doubt it will happen. I also believe the 360 is unlikely to repeat.
