Will my prediction come true in light of recent events? "Xbox 360 > PS3 WW"

I still think the PS3 will get a price drop in October, so no, I don't think it will happen. I also think LBP will be heavily advertised and receive GOTY. This on top of the PS3 being sold along with HDTV purchases as a blu-ray/ media center.

The PS3 will get advertise by many stores just for being a blu-ray player. So being the Blu-ray player on top of being the "LBP console" will give them lots to bargain with when it comes to the mainstream consumer. Also, Iron Man and Dark Knight will be the best sellers on Blu-ray thus far IMO, so we will have to see.

I still think the PS3 will outsell the 360 by a minimum of 1,000,000 WW this Christmas.

 

I think you overestimate LBP.

 

Judging from previews/ beta code demand I really don't think I am. Wording of previews thus far say nothing other than GOTY. As far as potential console moving power, I think LBP is the biggest game this year with nothing even remotely like it existing on any console.

LBP will attract many new customers, and the only thing I can see overwhelming its huge appeal is the $399 price point without the game. If they can drop the PS3 price and advertise enough with LBP (McDonalds would love to give away Sackboy dolls I would think) then this game will move lots of consoles.

Even at $399, I think people can justify it with Dark Knight/ Iron Man on Blu-Ray for their HDTV.

 

I participate in every beta I can, but that doesn't mean I buy the game (LotR Online and WoW for example).  The beta numbers don't give you a clear picture only show you how much general interest there is in your product if it was free.  The 360 will most likely take this holiday from Sony with ease... I think that Gears 2 will likely sell more units then LBP and R2 combined by the end of the year and Fable 2 is getting much love (it was game of E3 by several respect and not so respected sites).
