At best PS3 will be down 20% next year.  There just isn't demand strong enough anymore for either 360 or ps3 to remain even flat YOY.  This generation is very close to ending as is proof by the huge YOY declines for every console this year.  Some nice games and a price cut may slow their fall but 20% YOY drops at best for the HD twins in 2013

Impossible to guess until we know exactly whats happening, but I wouldnt be shocked to see it be anywhere between 10%-30% down YoY depending on how things go. It will be down YoY, without a doubt. I still think it could hold a 15-20% drop though with meaningful support and cuts.

Perma $199 cut with a $150 4GB option? That would be pretty big and sustainable I reckon, as long as games are releasing on a consistant basis.

Gonna be a crazy Year.
