This is basicly how I feel to... but I don't think Sony will be able to catch up to Microsoft... Next year it is likely that MS will drop their prices down to 160 usd, 250usd and 350usd if not more. The fact that they own every piece of hardware in the Xbox 360 means that if they can get it cheap enough they can sell that Arcade system for 100 bucks. That would surely rocket the system towards that 100 million mark that I'm sure is their goal.
