Its time to admit it. PS3 will NEVER overtake 360.

microsoft knows fully well that were it not for the rough and the delayed launch of the ps3, the 360 wouldnt be where it is in sales numbers today. that said, the chances of the ps3 overtaking the 360 this Gen is slim mainly due to the fact that the 360 always has a $100 cheaper model. once the PS3 drops to $199, that will be the death knell for 360, as majority of the sales of the 360 comes from the cheaper model as rrod victims normally purchase the cheaper arcade models just incase of another rrod occuring.

as for kinect and move, i thinks both will have minute effect on sales numbers as the casual market is already saturated with the wii.

PS3 cannot afford to get to 199$ so why should they be concerned about that?  Also, if the majority of their sales are people backing up their 360 for a RROD - or replacing them, then it makes the attach rate for the 360 even more impressive than it already is.

Point of the matter is, while the PS3 is a terrific system by itself - the 360 offers that affordable middle ground for those who want a console without motion controls at a lower cost.  They are always lower than the PS3 - always one step ahead.  They've made Sony burn their profits in order to KEEP UP.

Now that the 360 has a new model, a good chunk of that ground made up with their new model AND price drop, is dwindling away again - and the new 360 isn't even released in Others yet.  Sony is going to have to do anything stunt they do not want to do - b/c of Microsoft.  More lost profits.  You think they're doing all of this because they want to? lol --- time to face it.  Microsoft and Nintendo are dragging the former giant through the dirt. 

When you have to chisel out 2nd place with what Sony has dished out over the years, you know they're disappointed.
