With a price cut and new revision it will trend above the PS3, hence the bet in my sig as the US alone is not enough for the 360 to outsell the PS3. Natal doesn't enter the equation, this is just the natural seesaw of this generation. Natal is something completely different, it could become a killer app and drive 360 sales onto another level or become just another add on peripheral never fully utilised that does nothing but bump sales for one xmas (I'm not even going to guess which given we have ZERO information on launch software and pricing).
For the record I don't believe Sony will counter the cut with an actual price drop, I think we'll just see heavy bundling which will have a limited spoiling effect.
Thats just my opinion anyway, I've already stated numerous times how the 360 price actually went up in price last year in Others which is a contributing factor to the sharp dip in sales. If you remember back to 2008 the 360 actually had a cut in Others early in the year then it cut again in September and finally they increased the price back up after xmas blaming the exchange rates (not all the way back to start of 2008 prices though obviously).
