If the 360 owners don't want to re-buy a new custom 360 because of COD or Halo, I think that the PS3 has a chance of continue leading this year by 1.5M. I think that the PS3 will definitely outsell the 360 after both next gen consoles arrive.

LOL WOW, how many limited edition Halo, CoD and Gears of war 360's are there? Never mind about the limited edition coloured systems, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Uncharted etc.

These bundles only give temporary boosts on both sides.

However I do agee, Sony typically has better legs in Latin America, PS3 will outsell the 360 when 360 sales die off. So some point into the next gen.

COD and HALO sell almost the same numbers everytime, and yet when those games are released with their respective limited editions, the custom designed 360 sell a lot.  If there are more buyers for those customed design consoles and the games,  how can the sales of those games always on the same level?  If really those were new users the sales for those franchises would be a lot higher each time.  At least that is what I think regarding the consoles with new designs.   I think if the consoles were the normal ones, the sales would not get that high.

Also PS3 does not has limited edition consoles (different designs), so there is no purpose to re-buy the console.
