Not too sure about that....I reckon the PS3 will be no more than 5m behind the 360 by the end of this year, and unless MS reduce the cost of the 360 in the first half of 2010, then I can see the gap getting smaller and smaller quite quickly. Don't forget that there is quite a few system sellers releasing on the PS3 in the next 4 months (FFXIII, GT5 & GOW3) and these should push up sales WW. It looks like MS is putting too much emphasis on Natal and what it may or may not do for sales of the 360, although we won't know exactly what it will do until it releases late next year, but as I've said before, I expect the PS3 total sales to be pretty close to the 360 by then.

With current sales trends then the PS3 isn't going to outsell the 360 till 2011 imo (even with the system sellers), assuming Microsoft do nothing next year. I'd say a year does count as a while but I can understand why you questioned my wording. I think Microsoft are putting more emphasis on making some money than gaining marketshare at the moment, given the current economic climate its obviously the best strategy for them.
