To be honest i think this is probably the last year the X360 might be able to nudge out the PS3 in sales, 2009 will be PS3's year for sure with price-cuts and some major titles coming up. Who knows, if i look at what kind of turn-around 360 made after the recent price cuts, PS3 might even overtake the 360 in total sales worldwide or atleast come near a tie at the end of next year. Wouldn't suprise me one bit to be honest, know i'l be getting one next year for killzone 2, GT5 etc. Have been a proud owner of a (still working!) 360 since day one so this definitely isn't fanboy talk...

 

If Sony gets a 7+ million lead  to overtake the 360 in 2009 then I'll run naked through Times Square. You can quote me on that, because if things get that dire Microsoft will just cut the price of their 360 even further. Jasper is out on the shelves and already reduces their production costs even further.

Truly.  This isn't just about price cuts, its about PRICE.  Even if the PS3 drops its price, it will not EVER be cheaper than a 360.  Ever.

That being said, even if it starts to sell better than the 360 WW after a price cut, it would make more sense that the difference between the two would be like we saw earlier this year.

With the install base being likely 7.5-8 million higher for the 360 just at the beginning of 2009, it would take a signficant turnaround for the PS3 to do the CRAZY stuff that AnthonyW86 said.  Maybe its not fanboy talk, but its definitely not realistic either.
