they are not catching them by 2011. They have been saying that Sony will catch Microsoft every year that goes by and nothing changes. Microsoft outsells them every year. They can't catch Microsoft at this point

I would like to see a scenario where that happens, by 2011.  Even END of 2011, which is 2.5 years from now.  Sony has to start consistently pulling a lead month after month over the 360 worldwide.  And I think a price cut is essential to that.  It also would presume that Microsoft would sit back and do nothing.  Besides this, Sony has to execute perfectly.  I am curious what this "execute perfectly" is with Microsoft dropping the ball.  Anyone have a scenario for this?

The prediction of his feels like a fanboy pull out of the gut, because it feels right, prediction.  Someone PLEASE don't tell me that is the basis for what the Pachters of the world do.  It is pathetic if it is so.

Check my post above for what the PS3 would have to do to make this prediction come true.  I don't think there is any possible way for it to happen though.  Maybe a $100 PS3 price cut right now (and another price cut sometime later) with zero response from Microsoft for the next 2.5 years might make it happen.
