Awe well, whether it's 20-30% down in Aug/Sept for PS3, the total yr sales will still be higher in favor of PS3 over 360...

I'm way more interested to see whether PS3 2010 will be greater than PS3 2009 or not. I think it will be, but not by much (unless there is another price cut or Move is advertised massively). I expect PS3 to beat 360 this year, reasonably comfortably.

yes me too... and thats what this chart is about really. 

Well, I think it will be, but (as I said) it will be close. I think that the gains made up in the first 8 months should be enough to compensate for the lower final 4 months (assuming that Sept-Dec 2010 is higher than the same period in 2007 and 2008, which I believe it will be). I think September will be massively down (I know, I'm taking a huge risk saying something like that), but I think that by November, the gap between 2009 and 2010 will be less severe, which should see PS3 2010 through. I'm also assuming GT5 will launch and push a decent number of consoles (maybe not week 1, but throughout the period between launch and Christmas).
