PS3 won't be #1 next year. It'll struggle against the X360 for #2 next year.
The big question is where do PS3 sales go post-holiday. Despite great sales worldwide this Nov- till now, the PS3 is still expensive. And unfortunately for Sony, another price drop is out of the question for atleast another year.
What matters is if/when Microsoft drops the X360's price, to how much, and what the PS3's sales reaction is to the drop. A X360 pricedrop around GTAIV-time, followed by very little change in the PS3 could signal a strong decrease in Playstation brand appeal, and cause poor sales next year.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
