Sony will drop the price on september-november
but BEFORE, if the actual trend is kept then the gap will continue to increase

10M is easly possible to my eyes before Ps3 price cut

(we are already something like 7M !!)

the probleme we dont know by how much the Xbox360/Ps3 sales will drop after holidays ...

10M is not only easily possible, but vastly under what it could/should be if Sony waited that long.

The Playstation 3 beat the X360 out by a gap of 1.5 million consoles from January through July this year. Problem was/is, that the PS3 only beat the X360 out by 210,000 units in the November-December tracking period. Currently, the X360 is beating out the PS3 by 1.1 million units in the same period, with another 4 weeks to go.

What does that mean? The gap in 2009 between the X360 and PS3 should be a good deal larger than it was for the PS3 beating the X360 this year. If that's the case (and it should be), the X360 should widen the gap 2x faster, or more....So 3 million, maybe, by August.
