No idea what you first sentence has to do with what I said.  I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume you misunderstood.

But you expect the PS3 to sell 1m more than the 360 in just jan/feb/march?  Possible I suppose, but I doubt it.

 

I'm going to have to agree. Ps3 is not going to outsell xbox by 1m in 3 months. sales are going to fall off and ps3 might out sell 360 by 40-80 thousand a month. So next gen will start and xbox will have basically sealed the deal. Lets not forget they are to cut price as soon as they announce 720

The only problem with that argument is that this is the first year the PS3 has been down YOY, yet it was still able to outsell the 360 by a MUCH larger margin this year than it did last year (~1M units more, in fact).  Next year will probably be no different.  Even if the PS3 is down YOY again, which it will be, the 360 will be down even moreso.  So, with both posting smaller numbers overall, there's still a good chance the PS3 yearly lead will stay roughly the same, numberwise.  Especially when that $199 SKU hits.
