It's hard to predict how the sales would be if the worldwide economy wasn't in a recession. I would imagine that if consoles were considered a necessity, we would see the sales figure higher with the ratio kept the same. However, if consoles were considered a luxury, then the ratio would probably favor the 360 even more due to many families not buying a console at all this holiday season in order to save up.
I hope the PS3 can hold steady onto their market share for next year. An early price drop before E3 followed by a recovering economy aided by the holiday season sales might be able to help them recover all the grounds they lost this season.
