How close will the big 3 be in 2011?

What leads you to believe that? Wiis were produced at $88 (I've posted this link somewhere before, I think - http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multimedia/display/20090407124321_Nintendo_Wii_Costs_Roughly_88_to_Manufacture__Analysts.html#) back in mid 2009. Surely you'd think that Wii's even lower now and, considering 360 cost over 300 bucks to manufacture at launch, I doubt it's that low by now.

Anyway, on topic, I don't expect it to be as close as this year. I expect Japan to abandon 360 and Americas to start letting go off PS3 in the same way as Japan's let go of 360. Sony will probably try to step up their game, which may also leave 360 in the dust in EMEAA. Wii should continue to decline at about the same pace and 360 may be closer to it, but PS3 I think will start falling behind next year.

Like Japan matters to 360 0_o it did 220k there this year, so any drops there will be irrelevent.
