Whenever I see threads like this I like to bring out this handy little chart I made:
You can speculate all you want about prices and what can and can't happen, but this chart paints a pretty clear picture. In order to overtake 360 worldwide sales in three years, the PS3 would have to outsell it by 51k per week every week for the next three years. That just isn't going to happen.
The only reasonable figure on there is the 5 figure (260 weeks) and that's 31k per week every week for fives years. By the time five years is over the "winner" of this generation will have already been long decided and it just won't matter.
So yeah, just accept there's absolutely zero chance of the PS3 overtaking the 360 in worldwide sales or in the Americas. It's possible it may happen in Others, but even that can't happen for several years.
I'm not saying the PS3 is a failure by any means, I'm just say it can't "win" and it can't overtake the 360 in a reasonable amount of time.
