I guess we can expect Wii to still trounce PS3 in the late Nov-early Jan period. Last year the difference was about 200K. So if PS3 builds up a 250-300K lead by November it should finish the year ahead, but not by a massive amount. My vote is PS3, just.

I hope you are right, because that would mean that Nintendo has a great game we don't know about yet ready for the holiday season.

You doubt they'll have a big-ish holiday title waiting in the wings?

Well, a price cut will also be a shot in the arm for Wii sales in Japan, thugh if the Yen difference remains the same (i.e. if PS3 cuts prices too) then it may not do quite as much as if Wii can put a bit more daylight between it's price and PS3 price.
