It is possible, I wouldn't even say improbable and with GT5 (most likely though not confirmed yet) and FFXIII hitting it makes it more than possible. Everyone wants to act like NA is officially MS territory now but that hasn't been decided yet. There are still a LOT of PS2 owners who haven't moved to this generation that this new price point could easily swing over. I do think at the end of this generation NA will still be "won" by X360 but I think the margin will get a lot closer than most around here seem to think.
@ Zucas: "Wii and PS2 have done it."...see my point above. I completely agree with you that is difficult and like you I think they will come close but not hit (my guess is 900k is the ceiling), but the fact Sony did it once you have to wonder.
"I mean how do we not know everyone who was waiting for this pricedrop got it on the first week. I mean it did have an unusually large increase compared to others." The flip side to your angle is that how do we know that they did get it the first week. Your assumption would be that only 500k+ people were waiting and while I am no more "in the know" than you are I do feel you are way way off base. The number of people who own a PS2 indicate to me there are still quite a few people out there who haven't moved to this generation (even allowing that Wii and X360 took some, and IMO Wii didn't take that many instead it created more market in old people and kids).
