To tell you the truth I just see the gap slowly getting bigger and bigger. July's NPD shows what a price cut did for Sony and it appears it wasn't enough. Remember, in July the PS3 got the $100 price *and* you couldn't go a day without hearing about a RRoD (not sure why there were so many RRoD stories last month) yet the 360 still managed to come out on top.
At the moment the PS3's heavy hitters appear to swinging a little short (not saying they're bad but not the OMG awesome we had hoped) and the 360 just got done with Bioshock and a price drop, Halo 3 is around the corner, and then it's riding holiday highs until Mass Effect is released and there should be another small surge. I just can't see the PS3 gaining any ground for the rest of the year and I see the gap being too big in 2008. After that, the PS3 will have some incredible titles but the damage will already be done.
The system won't fail, far from it, it just won't be the best or even #2.
