Hmm, the holidays are a fickle thing and a console selling 500k one week might sell 200k the next during the period depending on several factors.
It is conceivable that the 360 dips while the PS3 spikes and we could see it happening. I don't think it will be indicative of any long term trend however as I think the PS3 will only start to battle its way back into contention against the 360 from week to week in early '08. Thats when the battle between the two systems begins in earnest.
I hope most Sony fans know that 2008 is live or die time for the PS3. It needs to have a good year or it will be stuck in 3rd for the rest of the generation. It doesn't have to get out of 3rd in 2008, it just needs a good year. I will avoid the ever perilous comparisons with other consoles but I do think it has a very respectable lineup for the early part of the year and I suspect Sony is well aware of the situation and planning the rest of the year accordingly.
