As pointed out, Jesse Divnich isn't a Microsoft Analyst.
Jesse Divnich currently serves as the director of analytical services at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR).
He writes a lot of good articles on Gamasutra about the US market after NPD numbers are released.
360 should beat PS3 in US this holiday after the price cut, excluding MGS4 release month PS3 has only been marginally outselling 360 in US, so it isn't really a question of if 360 will outsell PS3, but by how much?
Worldwide it's a different story, 360 has already had a price cut and still gets outsold by PS3 in Europe, and that will likely only start to increase next month when PES releases. The Japanese price cut is unlikely to turn things around for 360 there either. Price really isn't Microsoft's problem in Japan.
The way I see it 360 will outsell PS3 in NA, but it probably won't be by enough to make up for PS3 outselling it in Europe & Japan.
