I agree with that article .If the PS3 for example ,even with a "clearance sale " with a price reduction only for christmas season ,can keep the pace with the 360 in North America then the 360 will see itself in problems worlwide ,as the PS3 will kick its ass in both Europe and Japan by a great degree.It could reduce the sales difference in 2 millions only with the Christmas sales in those territories .Then we have teh Wii ,wich in 3 weeks will have passed the 360 total hardware sold ...if it makes a killing in christmas as well and passes the 360 in NA then Microsoft will lose the PR propaganda about being the most established and lead plattform ,how well they are selling ,how their strategy have paid results etc ....it will be seen in a different light and in direct competition with the PS3 wich sells more in most of the markets outside NA .

How many times does it have to be said that we don't yet know if the PS3 is keeping pace with the 360? We have two weeks of sales data after the price reduction of the 60 GB PS3, it could be simply a peak...
