Certainly the brand has weakened, but with sales being this close with the 360 this much cheaper
A large factor is the UK, 25-30% of EU sales, where the Xbox is so much cheaper, the Arcade is the same price as the PSP 3000. In some countries in Europe proper the PS3 is still winning
So yes the PS brand still has a very large role to play, I think the burden of the price is too much to overcome
