I think by E3 2012 Sony can brag about outselling the 360. If they reduce the price of the PS3 to $199 by then, then maybe they will have a chance of taking first. But also remember that the Wii is not in HD so Nintendo will likely be the first console to make the jump to the 8th generation of consoles.

The problem with this is the PS3 and the 360 dont need to jump with nintendo, because they'll likely be more powerful than whatever nintendo churns out. and the issue is if nintendo does make their next console more powerful than the other 2, they will put themselves in a position where the other 2 could be cheaper - and that has been a key winning factor for the Wii.
remember nintendo also dosent have as strong 3rd pary support as the other companies do, so they might not necessarily be as successful if they release first.
People who want a wii and 360 can already afford one.
People who want a ps3 cant always afford it so theres millions of people waiting for a price drop.
with blu-ray and all of its other features, i cant see people buying xbox's after one more price drop in the ps3.
there is going to be so much demand with the next price drop and with games like GT5, killzone 3, LBP 2, last guardian.
ofcourse microsoft and nintendo can play the cheap tactic of giving away their consoles (well for a much lower price anyway) since they have already made enough profit on them and they cost far less to make than a ps3 because their hardware isnt on the same level.
however if people realise which system has the best games, this shouldnt be a problem for the ps3 and with the economy recovering, people will pay the premium price for the better entertainment system.
theres no doubt it will overtake 360, but buying wii's will be like going to the supermarket to get a loaf of bread so they will sell like crazy.

Since when being HD is a parameter for that?

I detect some bias towards the PS3 there...
Above: still the best game of the year.
3rd parties will pretend that any next gen console has no less than a good minimum amount of RAM, not less than 4GB I'd guess, and enough CPU and GPU power to handle complex and detailed levels and AI, and a 3D @1440p video output, and obviously with enough spare computing power to handle controller and camera based multiplayer motion detection. Such beasts should be at least thrice as powerful as a PS3, so even the least powerful next gen console won't be able to be released before Q3 2012 and be priced within $300, unless the producer accept to sell it at a loss initially. This, added to the fact that Nintendo will be very busy with 3DS next year, makes very unlikely that Wii2 be released before Autumn 2012, but Nintendo could anyway start making the first announcements next year. By then Wii will be largely profitable even at $99 and so it will be able to repeat PS2 success as entry level console, or at least come very close, selling at least for another 2 years and making very difficult for PS3 to arrive 1st, even if the latter will be able to stay on the entry level market one or two years longer. The only still unknown factor is the emerging countries market growth, but even there, despite the initial logistic lead for Sony, Nintendo should fare very well thanks to Wii's low cost.
