As of week ending Dec 31st - ? Woah a perfect tie?

then what..IMO the PS3 probably will take  3-4 months  more to get back close to the October lead...

Honestly you think the PS3 is going to outsell the 360 by over 1 million over the next 3-4 months. I say it takes through next summer before PS3 gets back where it was when the 360 started the comeback this year.  Then guess what.  Holiday sale cycles start up again.  And while this year the 360 was sold with gift cards next holiday I expect a full fledged $100 price cut on the $299 and higher models.
