Just another way to look at it. MS outsold PS3 by nearly 600K from Oct 10th 2010 to Jan 1st 2011. They need to outsell the PS3 by nearly twice that amount this year without Kinect being the hot new device. If MS have a price cut or something up their sleeves they should do it already.

If the Xbox 360 coudn't beat the PS3 last year with its half a million marketing campagin for Kinect why does Microsoft think it will do it this year?
PS3 has outsold the 360 2 years in a row(2009, 2010). So far it looks to do the same this year.

But the 360 did beat the PS3. In Americas and EMEAA 360 outsold the PS3, it's Japan that's keeping the PS3 above the 360.

Even then from October-January, the 360 sold what 30% better then the PS3? Somethink like 1-1.5 million more units?

360 stated weak in 2010 because PS3 was still reaking in the benefits of PS3 Slim sales. This year, 360 managed to keep on par with PS3 until it's price cut.

It's very possible that the 360 matches the PS3's WW sales this year.

I don't think it will happen, mainly because of the higher price tag, but if MS had cut the price of the 360 when Sony did the PS3, I would have expected it to.
