Sony/Microsoft Could Make Nintendo Very Uncomfortable This Holiday

Lol i actually think PS4 is in the worst position for next holiday, due to strong PS3 sales

Exactly.  PS3 is just now beginning to hit it's stride.  It was very much a late bloomer, and sales in the west, particularly Europe, as well as some emerging markets, seem to be giving PS3 a second life after US and Japanese sales have begun to cool off.

PS3 might very well be the first Sony console to actually justify the "ten-year lifecycle" slogan.

Sony typically experiences less of a boost from the holidays than Microsoft or Nintendo.  The 360 might hurt the 720 more, especially if they do drop the price.  The Wii will still be a favorite for parents with small kids, as well.

Also, the PS2 did pretty well with an expanded life-cycle.

Edit:  Careful about saying something positive regarding the PS3's sales.  We kind of have a Hall Monitor for that.
