After seeing the responses to my post from earlier, let me rephrase myself:
I believe a turnaround between the PS3 and the 360 can happen this gen (I don't say that it WILL happen, I say it is possible), because I think that there are a lot of pepole who wait specifically for a PS3 price drop, and are uninterested in the 360, so when the PS3 will drop the price, there will be a big, temporary, rise in sells, in which the PS3 will sell around 6 mil units in two months, and no, I don't say it WILL happen, I think that it is highly likely.
Also, when looking at the period that the PS3 was the same price as the 360, you can see that the PS3 outsold the 360, so I think it will happen again when they are both the same price.
I understand pepole who think that a turnaround is unlikely, I can't understand pepole who think a turnaround is impossible.

Okay, let's first assume that a PS3 price cut and slim will change the sells around (a lot) in Sony's favor, how can Microsoft counter it?
Well, you can say that a price cut will allow them to counter it, and you know, it's a good possibility.
But I feel like a lot of pepole are anticipating a PS3 price drop, not a "next-gen console prrice drop", a lot of Sony's fans are still waiting for them to lower the price of their console, a lot more pepole than the ones who wait for Microsoft to lower the 360's price (I base my assumption on the fact that PS2 sold a lot of consoles, thus getting a lot of fans, a lot more than what the original XB had).
So basically, I think that the difference between us is that you think that it is merely a matter of price difference between the consoles, so if 360's cheaper = it sells more, while I think that Sony still have a lot of fans, fans who just don't have the money for a PS3, and will buy it, and only it, just because it is Sony's console.
I'll actually take a fact to show my point.
How come that the PS3 sold more than the 360 in it's first year, while having competition, an overwhelming price tag and "NO GAMEZ"? the answer is simple and illogical - because it's Sony.
I don't see why the "poor" fans don't exist anymore while the "rich" fans who bought the console at lunch still are.
