most of the article is ... RIGHT

I would just add that the next Xbox360 pricedrop will not move significatively more console that the next ps3 price cut du to only 1 thing : Xbox360 is already quite cheap ...

 

Exactly. Further price drops on an already Mass Market price console wont have as big an effect. PS3 is still NOT mass Market. And as we saw for the 1st half of 08. People are willing to pay that bit extra for a PS3 over a 360

 

But then you have to wonder, how much longer will it be before people start realising that 85-90% (not an accurate figure) of their favourite franchises from last gen are also on the cheaper 360 (you don't have to be a gaming website lurker to notice the same box art on the 360 shelf as the PS3 shelf).

So I think the people still holding onto the Playstation brand name are evaporating (or buying) and eventually it'll be a purely software battle and which one is cheaper. Of course the brand name thing can definitely last longer if sony drops prices, but if it doesn't within the next 6 months, I'd say that it will definitely lose to the 360 (and of course, the Wii) regardless of what's coming out software wise.
