Microsoft always have stronger holiday, but nah they wont sell 1.3 million more in the holiday than PS3, especially when the PS3 had a price drop recently. I do not think M$ will drop price (this year), when they are selling so well, they are in it for the money not just to "win".

That's not true at all.  In the year 2007, the PS3 outsold the 360 by ~232K for the months of Nov and Dec.  In 2009, the PS3 outsold the 360 by a whopping ~1.5 mil for those same months.  Each of those years saw a price cut to the PS3.  I think we are going to see history repeat itself this year.

2007 saw the first holiday sales of the PS3 in Europe i think - PS3 outsold 360 during the holiday season

2008 nothing special with the PS3 chuging along at a very high price - X360 outsold PS3 during the holiday season

2009 slim released in september plus a price cut - PS3 outsold X360 during the holiday season

2010 x360 slim released midyear and kinect and move released holiday season - X360 outsold PS3 during the holiday season

2011 - ??? we shall see
