How can you decide to just create a $299 SKU that does not exist in your argument? Especially with the $ amount Sony is already losing on a $399 one? And when historically has the PS3 Beat the Xbox 1:1 much less even 2:1. I do think Sony is increasing and 360 is slightly dropping, but your estimates are fabricated at best. Wishful thinking does not equal 2:1 sales.
And your argument is weak on another point... you did not buy another system last gen because the one you had already had all the good games out. That is no longer the case. Sony only has a few good games, and a few ever-delaying hopefully good sequals coming out. They do have a line-up, but you haven't played those games and can't know what will be the system sellers.
Microsoft made a brilliant move recently by packaging Forenza with the 360. They are obviously trying to deflect GT5 by giving people a good racing game so they don't NEED to spend $399 on a system and then $60 on a good racing game. I don't know if it will work as GT is a monster, but it is brilliant.
At this point it's all speculation, Sony could continue to grow and Microsoft could continue to slighly fade. But I think they will be very close at the end of this gen. But I do expect Wii to win.
