Short summary of why PS3 is doing better then, well... Before.
1) Blu-Ray has won the HD Format-war. a 400$ Blu-Ray player which can play HD games is very attractive for new Blu-Ray buyers.
2) 400$ pricepoint is more 'accesible' then the 600$ one, or the 500$ one for that matter... Still, it's nowhere near where Sony wants it to be, thus you can still see the big diference between the sales of the Wii and the PS3... (PS3 has way better tech for it's price however).
3) X360's high failure-rate and the loss of HDDVD causes a lot of 'potential' X360 buyers to eventually go with a PS3... This is also due to the prices getting closer to eachother in the US (price hasn't dropped there yet for the X360).
4) PS3 was doing so bad last year that it could only go better...
5) Line-up is much stronger. Sony had the time to release a couple of strong first-party titles... Combine that with the fact that 3rd-party developers have been able to succesfully use the PS3's power and handle the architecture and you have more reasons to buy a PS3 then ever before!
