The gap appears to be growing between 360 and PS3.

im not going to sat game over yet considering if this economy continues the way it is we might not see the next generation till 2014.

true, but that same economy is likely to keep the PS3 behind ever longer because the PS3 today, nearly 2.5 years after its launch, is still the same price the 360 was when it launched almost 3.5 years ago.

Now I'm not saying it's impossible that the PS3 could catch the 360 because if there's anything this gen has taught us, it's to expect the impossible to happen (Gamespot's April Fools joke anyone?), but at best it's a very, very remote possibility. And I'm saying this even though I think the PS3 is the best 7th gen console.

 

 

idk, if Sony can cut the price before this holiday and then next they have a good chance.

 

They WILL cut this year, of course.

The problem is not of a question of wether, but rather of when. Right now they are down YoY (and have been for quite some time) which is bad, but a pricecut this earlier is a wasted opportunity. We are through the weaker months of the year and the recession is still looming over consumer spending. 

Since their YoY is just at -6%, if I were to wager I'd bet SCE will coast it for as long as they can at the current pricepoint.
