Given the sales rate average over the life of the console, I'd bet mid October assuming the increases in sales rates are sustainable. I suspect that we'll see a drop off but there are some good games coming out for the PS3 here soon so I think some of the sales momentum is here to stay.

late october... but that's a wild guess.... we have two conference before that and soem games comming out... I say late october if we were freezing the curent situation... now again we have to know when they are going to run out of 60Go if they are going to make another price cut before or right after that... how XB is reacting.... but a bump in july is really too early to be accurate even by months...

now we don't have to forget the public exposure of each product... who is going to the most and the more appealing advertising... i haven't been watching a lot of TV lately but we don't see that much ad for any of them.... that is going to play a big part in that fight too...
