I think the PSP will be under the Xbox 360 next week due to the boost its getting in Japan from Kingdom hearts.
Will Sony's hardware revenue be up YOY on the PS3 by next month? If they fall under 25% > than last years sales they will probably have lower hardware revenue by a few %. If thats the case then its unlikely that the system will pick up pace without some additional input like 3D selling major console numbers or Arc selling major console numbers.
If they fall under that 25% mark and stay there then its unlikely that the sales rate will ever be higher than this year up until the point where they released the slim and YOY sales fall. If thats the case then this year is the PS3s peak and I doubt that reducing the price to $199 in 20 months will yield higher sales than present.
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
