I think the main things here are GT5 (which is the ultimate system seller according to history) and the console price.

The console price has been the main factor that limited sales until now. Before last september, PS3 was easily outselling 360 worldwide while already costing more than the 360, so price is definitely the main factor. That's why I think a 100$ price cut could be so huge.

On the other hand, any new MS price cut would be more limited in impact since the console is already very affordable right now...

But you're right, only time will tell, and I could be wrong.

see this thread for your prediction and the history of related ones http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=5338 

This thread is hilarious.  I love all the predictions of the PS3 slaughtering the 360 in '08 with the release of GT5 and FFXIII, like this gem:

"It will happen in 08, with the line up they have outsellign the 360 by 500k will be a walk in the park.  While 360 will sale less and less as PS3 takes potential buyer away form it.

Gran Turismo 5 will literally kill the 360 in europe. 
FF13 will significantly grow sales in Japan.
MGS4, Killzone2, GTA4, Resistance2, Socom4, GT5 and the US market is ni happy 360 place. "
