It's true. Xbox 360 has topped sales in July with the new Xbox 360 Slim. Plus, later this year, in September and November, you've got the Halo: Reach themed 360 and the Call of Duty: Black Ops 360 Slim coming, which will do nothing but boost sales of the Xbox 360 and even more broaden the sales gap between the 360 and the PS3. Then the big ticket titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3, Fable III, and Fallout: New Vegas will push that gap to the limits. Then Kinect, which should surely draw in more consumers, will even further the gap between Microsoft and Sony.

It just seems logical that the 360 will be the best selling console up until at least January next year. The PS3 doesn't have custom consoles, but quite frankly, it doesn't need them. It had LittleBigPlanet 2 and Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 all coming out. Then again, even LittleBigPlanet sales couldn't compete with Fable II. I'm not a PS3 hater (I like the Blu-ray and better construction), but 360 will be the winner. 3DS might be able to top that, if it has an impressive line-up at launch. But right now, the 360 has everything the PS3 has, and a little more. Sony needs to consider the PS4 if they want to top charts again.

Hell, they could use Microsoft's own strategy against them. If they release the PS4 before everybody else, then Microsoft and Nintendo will be clambering to release their next-gen console. That is, unless Microsoft and Nintendo are already contempt with their sales figures and don't need to release another console or even handheld. 3DS and 360 S are shaping up nicely, and Sony needs to find a way to catch up.
