Can X360/PS3 reach 100 million sold units?

The 360 has been on the market longer and it has little more to gain from price cuts, new models, peripherals or services. I'm not trying to be condescending (don't care if you take it that way though, you're a random person on the Internet who I don't know, just stating a fact) but it really has been terribly obvious for quite some time that the PS3 will eventually overtake the 360 in total hardware sales. Even the surprise success of the Kinect and PSN outage combined can't stop it from happening. The only scenario in which the 360 could possibly outsell the PS3 is if the PS4 hits the market before the Xbox Trinity / Delta and we all know that to be an unlikely scenario.

How do you define the end of a console generation?

I love your arguments. There is still great demand for the 360, yet it has little to gain from price cuts and new models? Are you really under the illusion further price cuts wouldn't stimulate 360 sales? Especially considering it shares most of PS3's library? Nonsense.

Kinect allowed the 360 to maintain strong sales without relying on massive price cuts. If the 360 S included a price cut, the sales gap would be even bigger. It seems clear to me that MS cares more about profit than having a bigger userbase than PS3.

PS3 getting the lead over the 360 is not much of an achievment. When was the last time the 360 had a price cut? MS is basically handing the lead to Sony. Yet Sony just can't seem to do it, its embarassing really.

I think the end of the console generation is when Sony and MS put out new hardware. I don't include NIntendo because their next gen is basically last gen.
