If Sony does nothing, by 2010 at the latest. If, however, Sony does something (and we all know they will, in fact we know exactly what they will do), I don't expect to ever see a 10 million unit gap.

Doesn't that assume Microsoft will do nothing in retaliation? Shouldn't it be assumed they have tricks in store for the holiday as well?

Very well, if Microsoft bombs all of Sony's factories in retaliation, there will be a 10 million gap by the end of the year.
