The most important thing (IMO) is that even tho the gap is decreasing, the 360 is still selling well. I think if you ask sony execs, they would say that they would prefer to be 3rd but have very healthy sales (along with the 360), then they gaining the 2nd spot, with 360 declining quick, because that would mean quicker next gen consoles coming out.
I think sony desperatly wants to extend the life of this gen consoles, and release a well prepared, reliable, reasonable price, big improvment, with great software on release PS4 in 2014.
