First of all, Hello, I haven't talked to you in a while LOL.

Even without a Price Cut I see the 360 outselling the PS3 in America this Holiday. Also, the PS3 just isn't a Holiday System like the Wii or  360 is which means the the Wii and 360 are likely to get bigger Holiday boosts compared to the PS3. 

I will admit that when I said that I expect 360 to dominate this Holiday I assumed that 360 will be getting a Price Cut. If the 360 doesn't get a Price Cut it could possibly still be #1 in America(Small lead) but won't be #1 Worldwide for sure. With a Price Cut though I see the 360 being #1 Worldwide this Holiday...and yes erasing the PS3 2011 gap. 

For example, if 360 gets a Price Cut to $150 and Kinect gets a Price Cut to $100, the bundle could be only $200. A $200 360 Kinect bundle would sell extremely well in America and do quite well in Others too.(Not $200 Euros but a similar Price Cut for Europe)

Howdy

And you've hit at points that are now more clear, and I agree (for the most part). Price cut or not, the 360 will win in the Americas. With a price cut, it may be close, but I still see the PS3 winning the holidays and the year overall WW. Without a price cut, there's nothing to debate, Sony will take the win (2nd or 3rd place - behind the Wii & 3DS) with ease. Even though the 360 and Wii do better during holidays, this year will probably be different (similar to 2009, in fact, where the PS3 beat the 360 on the heels of a price cut, revision, & (to a lesser degree) Uncharted 2). It won't be as major, but without a cut, the 360 will definitely lose WW.

Be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Yup, I should have explained LOL.(I was going to but was lazy) I agree without a Price Cut 360 will be #3 this Holiday Worldwide.(Not including Handhelds) With a Prcie Cut though 360 could become the new Wii this Holiday IMO. Also, you expect Wii to outsell the 360 and PS3 this Holiday?
