PS3 will eventually pass 360. nuff said

No way dude... EMEAA Japan > Americas.

PS3 will outsold all home consoles this year.

It's already leading by  a good margin.

* Note Wii is overtracked this year because Nintendo shipped just 1.4 million.

PS3 will eventually pass the Xbox360.

Even if it doesn't happen this gen, it will happen after the start of next gen.

the reason is simple, MS doesn't have the developers to support 2 consoles whereas Sony does as they showed lated in the PS2 life...

So when Microsoft starts talking of the next Xbox, their first party support for the 360 is going to disappear quickly and the PS3 will close the gap if it hasn't before that point..

It's impossible for MS to have more games than Gears this year that will help sales. Kinect has proven to be a fad and is already dead, nobody wants the games that are already out so no more games are being developped for it. 360 won't get a price cut but even if it does people in America will only care for the PS3's price cut.</sarcasm>

You shouldn't make that kind of thread.

There's really nothing that can stop the PS3 from outselling the 360 now.  A $199 SKU, Kinect, and a new Slim model couldn't stop it.  I guess if  MS wants to take a loss and start selling each 360 for $99, that would work, but I doubt they or their investors would be happy with that.  Whoever cuts the price first, I'm guessing MS, it will most likely be a $50 cut (to $249), while the basic 360 will probably stay at $199 (possibly dropping to $179).  Then Sony will respond with their own $50 cut.  The 360 will still be outsold by the PS3, since any cut will favor Sony more.  There's just more demand for the PS3 and it will be the first time ever a PS3 would be available for so cheap.  In fact, I predict that the PS3 will probably start selling on par with the 360 even in Americas once the price hits $249, and will begin to outsell it weekly once it hits $199.

Something magical about a $50 price cut that is going to make that happen?  Is there something historically where the $250 price barrier leads to large increases in sales?  You argument at $199 presumes that the 360 won't get a price cut.  Why do you presume Sony moving won't also have Microsoft matching?  What is being demonstrated is that, in the Americas, when the PS3 and 360 are the same price, the 360 outsells it.  The converse is true in Europe.  As far as Japan goes, it is a lost cause for Microsoft at this point.

The joker in the mix is the next Nintendo console, and whatever it does.

I think everyone here should just yield to the immortal wisdom of the ioi
