Ah, but gamingdevil, the prices WONT stay the same.
Everyone assumes the PS3 and X360 will stay at their price points. The X360 can change it's price at anytime it feels like. Many, including myself, have pointed to a $50 USD price drop in March, just before GTAIV. The X360 had a 100% boost from that drop. What will happen when the X360 gets that price drop, and Sony fails to match the drop?
Everyone makes the asinine declaration of "the X360, with better games and a cheaper price can't even outsell the PS3 right now. Why can it do that later?"
Answer: Because the X360 can get more games, and a cheaper price than the PS3 can get either. Sony has had to drop their 2 primary models for an infinitely neutered 40gb model that has no BC to get the PS3 to $400. The PS3 is selling on the fact it has Blu-Ray, is a PS3, and is $400. When you have those 3 things, it'll sell. It would be like the X360 getting a drop by November 2006, to $200/275 for both units.
Like rocketpig said, the PS3 would have to outsell the X360 by 150k per week to beat it in 08. With no major exclusives, sans MGS4 next year, and an impending X360 pricedrop well before sony can counter, the PS3 will only be able to outsell the X360 by 2010 at the earliest.
God, I wish that some people would actually look at sales figures before actually making this "PS3 will overtake the X360 in 12 months" bullcrap.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
