I will say one thing, even though I really don't see it happening I'm really intrigued by what Dodece says he knows. Part of me wants something crazy to happen just for the sake of it. PS3 is too strong ATM though, for reals.

Well, unless it's "Buy one 360, get one free" or the $199 250GB 360 + $249 Kinect bundle I mentioned previously, its not going to happen.  Even if it was something like that, it would only help it close the gap to a tie, maybe be slightly above the PS3.  But, to close a greater than 1 million gap and then create another 1 million gap between itself and the PS3, it's just even more impossible.  To compare it with last year, from this week til the end of Dec 2010, the 360 was able to outsell the PS3 by 505K.  To suggest that the 360 can best that by over 1.5 million is just ludicrous.  Forget the buy one get one free, they'd just have to plain give them out for free.

Read my post farther up on the page, I summarized it. 360 effectively would need to do about a million units better in Americas than what the Wii was doing back in holidays 2009 when it was breaking pretty much every holiday sales record in history.
