Not going to happen. Once price cuts happen across the board the 360 is going to have to worry about the PS3 eating it sales. Kinect has given the 360 a boost, but that boost didn't even help it sell more in 2010. Kinect needs a real killer app that we still haven't seen. Once people realize that their is nothing to look forward those sales are going to drop. Then throw in what Nintendo does next with Project Cafe. A system priced just right with something exciting will keep people from buying the older 360.

Clearly someone that doesn't actually know the sales and how things panned out.
360 does not have to worry about PS3 price cuts in the U.S, in late 2009 when PS3 got its price cut and Slim model, and 360 had nothing, PS3 barely outsold in in U.S, switching back and fourth between 360 outselling it that holiday. From when PS3 slim launched to the end of the year, you know how much PS3 outsold 360 in those 4 months? 150k. After that, PS3 hasn't outsold 360 there since. PS3 should get a great boost with its next cut, but 360 is getting a cut too, liekly will Kinect, so it'll be ahead again.
As for Wii. They were practically tied last year, that was with 5 months without the 360 slim, and shortages in Dec (if it hdn't have had shortages it likely would have been ahead for the year.
You think Wii price cut is going to shoot it sky high again? even NINTENDO don't think that. They've dropped their shipments down to 13 mill, given they sold 18 mill last year, 7 mill in US, they're not gonna come close to 7 mill again when they expect to sell 13 mill TOPS in 2011. That's a 5 mill decline WW, probably 2 mill attribuited to the U.S
How on earth do you know Kinect has nothing to look forward to? We havn't even got to E3. The first year for nearly EVERY system on the market is dire for decent SW, look at DS and Wii, 360, PS3 ect ect.
Actually bother to put aside your bias next time you want to post if you want to come up with something with an inch of truth and likelyhood to it.

Ye gods, I've seen some delicious, unintentional, irony before but, good God man, this one's a beaut! I'm going to go and look at your older posts and see if you make this a (bad, but highly entertaining) habit.
P.S. That last bit makes you come across as a lout and a bully and a know-it-all (impressive to rack up a trifecta like that in one sentence), and maybe you could, perhaps, consider being a bit more generous in your responses in the future.
