Doubtful unless Sony can keep its price well beneath the 360's. If a $100 price cut on the PS3 is only enough for a one month boost in sales against a competing console with a 20+% failure rate then that tells you there is a pretty grim reality behind the well-wishing hopes for the PS3 making second place.
Also, don't expect the abandonment of reverse compatibility on the 80gb PS3 to help its appeal. Can people live without PS1 games, sure, but if you think people will just give up their PS2 games, please pinch yourself and wake up.
