I would say 2011 because 1.sony's playsatation 3 sales have been strong since the price cut & show no signs of slowing down 2.the strong list of exclusives this year are still pushing strong playstation 3 sales & should get them through the rest of this year 3.next year seems to be building a strong list of exclusives which should help them maintain their strong playstation 3 sales momentum.

Change every spot where it says something about PS3 and insert 360.  Hey look we are looking at the end of 2008 all over again!

Seriously, if you people think the PS3 sales will stay like this forever and nothing will be done on either side to change them, you need to take some history lessons on the last few years of this console generation.

I say never.

Why?

Because next year the 360 will likely repeat 2008's holiday season and put the lead right back up to 8 million.  And it will keep bouncing back and forth until next gen, with the 360 always at least a few million ahead.

Good post.  Everyone needs to seriously stop setting themselves up for embarrassment

You are missing a little detail: this Autumn too MS did a price cut, just like its competitors. But Sony's and Nintendo's ones worked very well, MS' one, well, er, ehm...
