My predictions-
Next year, MS will drop the price by $50. If they drop it by $100, the arcade would be the same price as the PS2. They will probably regain some thunder. Natal could do something, but in history - non included accessories have usually not done so well. But, this generation has shown that historical trends can be broken.
In 2011, I think is when Sony will release the true PS3 Slimline that will be close to the size of the PS2 Slimline. You have to notice that Sony never actually called the PS3 120 GB / 250 GB the "PS3 Slim." Everyone else did. I think there is a reason for this. So yeah, it will probably be $200/300.
2012 will probably be the launch of the PS4 / Xbox 720 - and probably within a week of each other around Thanksgiving.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
