Which home console will win 2012?

360 will win - it has a lot going for it:

+ console price cut (very likely)
+ kinect price cut (will probably happen)
+ Halo 4 with crazy MS marketing
+ huge holiday sales, since it basically took over the Wii's position as the mainstream/casual console in the US

X360 might even peak again in 2012, which is nuts.

For the PS3 there is not much going on this year - at least nothing we know about. Sony won't cut the price again, there is no huge game in sight that might push consoles or at least generate some attention and we all know that Sony fails at marketing compared to MS.

So I think for 2012: X360 > PS3 by a decent margin

Everything you mentioned in that + list X360 had going for it last year and still PS3 won... apart from Halo4 and the last Halo didn't quite set sales ablaze for x360 ( if memory serves well..which it might not).

I think x360 will win 2012 but I thought the same in Jan 2011 when it had almost all on that list going for it.

If the charts are anything to go by .. and it is, the same pattern is already being set (look at the most recent weekly sales). PS3 to win most weeks and months and X360 to take christmas and make gains or overtake.

 

Of course price cuts and all that comes into it, but that works on both sides, and as I don't know the percentage of these price cuts, I would be speculating a speculation and that don't make sense.
