I don't think PS3 will ever outsell 360 in the US, not for one week, one month, and never over a year.
America sells based on marketing. The American public is so brain dead, they can't tell a shirt from a pizza unless it was marketed correctly. Thus lies the PS3's problem. Microsoft made the 360 cool. Teenagers think its cool, that trickled to the parents, and the ball has just kept rolling. Kudos to MS for the job they have done.
Microsoft has been around the block and they know how to play the game. Products do not sell themselves. Show the people that something is "cooler" or "more in" than any other product, and that's what counts. Most Americans will not look beyond advertising in there purchases. Same thing happens with every other product in this country from toothpicks to politics. The cheapest or best sold product wins most of the time.
Sony's only chance is to get the PS4 over as the "cool" product early in the next gen. Make sure Call of Duty is the in deal on there platform, whore out PSN to every end of the digital world, and team with other "in" products (Disney, Justin Bieber, Facebook, Alcohol, marijuana, Porn, Honda, ect.).
They are getting PSN rolling right now with the apps for every device under the sun. All it will take is the right flash and flare, and it has to happen soon. The market is killing of competition and if Sony doesn't right this ship soon, Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft, along with the slew of street rat products will kill anyone in between. Right now Sony's sitting right in the crosshairs.
