So things are tracking more or less as I thought, with PS3 staying ahead through october and into November. If 360 overtakes PS3 on MW3 week it'll be by 10-20K I think. Black friday week will be when 360 can take a big bite out of PS3's YTD lead, possibly by as much as 100K. Still leaves 360 with a large deficit to overhaul without any move on pricing.
I think 360 will win December vs. PS3 (relying on its traditionally strong markets: Americas & UK) . So, I'm thinking the year will end with PS3 with a sub-1 million sales advantage for the year. Which will put the LTD lead for 360 back above 3 million. Potentially 2012 being the last full year of PS3 and 360 being the current gen consoles for MS and Sony means holiday 2012 will really be the last chance of a major shift in relative sales. I doubt anything major will happen though.
