xbox will NOT win 2012. people here seem to think that the ps3 has no exclusives next year, no price cut, no games planned or anything. ps3 has alot of good exclusives coming out next year that will push hardware. some have already been named, (final fantasy, twisted metal, last guardian etc).. aswell as games we havent even heard about yet, possibly a god of war 4, agent, aswell as new IP's by sony's own studios. theres also one last price cut in it to make it $199 which is the mass market price. once that happens its sales will skyrocket. xbox obviously will move alot of consoles when the usual call of duty comes out and halo 4, but ps3 still has the technology and power still in it to make it relevant next year.
2012 will be much the same as 2011 really. xbox will have a substantial lead in america, whilst ps3 will lead in emeaa by a long way and especially in Japan. ofcourse im not forgetting that the xbox will get a price cut. 100% sure this will happen. yes this will boost sales but i think sony will cut the price to $199 which will cancel out the xbox boost in the long run.

For the sake of their shareholders, I hope SON¥ won't do another price cut next year.

...their next gen console will likely be announced next year so I don't see how the shareholders would see a small price cut as a bad thing.

They're releasing the PSVita next year in the west and rumor has it, it'll take them 3 years to start making a profit from it. If you take into account SON¥'s current economic woes, unfavorable currency exchanges and what they project to spend on R&D for the PS4, a price cut is really not in their best interest. Remember also: they don't make a cent from online play. Something has got to give.
