Its at 1.6 ratio right now, but my intuition says it will be less than 1.6 ratio by end of 2011. One main reason is the X360 exclusive title releases (Gears 3, Forza 4, Halo: Anniversary), plus the custom consoles (Gears console, MW3 console, and possibly one more since the Star Wars console will release next year), and lastly the Kinect holiday boost and Kinect titles. Those 3 main factors will keep PS3 from outselling X360 this holiday season IMO.
If MS includes a price cut then the scenario changes and X360 outsells PS3 by wide margins during the holiday months, but it is fair to say that is speculation since there have been no announcements. I personally think some kind of cut will occur however before the major holidays. Even without a price cut from MS my intuition is telling me the PS3 will not stay at 1.6, but will decrease from that number by end of 2011.

People are forgetting final fantasy 13-2 and its custom console in japan, along with ni no kuni. Japan is going to be huge for PS3 this year, and there is uncharted 3 to rival forza and halo. Gears will do good nos no doubt about it.
With a price cut, the 360 will at the most equal PS3 during the holidays. Kinect isn't going to sell consoles as much as it will sell itself during holidays.

I can see where you are coming from through most of your post, but if you are saying that a price cut for X360 would "At most equal" holiday sales figures of PS3 then I would very much disagree with you. A X360 price cut for the holidays would boost sales by very large margins and I wager would sell significantly more than its competition.

I guess it depends upon the price cut. If its equivalent to the PS3's cut, then I believe it will only sell similar to PS3.

I respect your opinion but I have to majorly disagree. If a $50 price cut took place across the board for all X360 models I think we would see huge sales boosts. The cuts would push X360 sales ahead of PS3 sales during the holiday months and into 2012. I will say its possible that PS3 would stay ahead in sales for 2011, but I think the ratio would become very very close. X360 would actually have a shot of being in first for the year in terms of consoles.
