PS3 will overtake it end of 2009 beginning of 2010. I predict though that MS will release the next XB around 2010 or 2011 at the latest and completely abandon the 360 like they did with the XB.

 That would be very likely MS. They never cares about the consumers, but just money...

MS will not do this. Unlike the first XBOX the 360 is engineered so that MS can more easily take advantage of cost reductions.  MS will want to be more like Sony in this regard with 2 consoles selling especially on the software front.  MS lost a great deal of revenue abandoning the original XBOX, but you cant keep a console as the previous gen device if it is still losing $.

Where would Sony be today cash wise if they had abandoned the PS2 and the PS3 did as crappy as it has.
