First off, given that the PS3 to PS2 sales ratio is 1:3, a drop of 200% and the X360 to Xbox sales ratio is 2:1, an 100% increase, regardless who is up a few million units on who when this generation ends, Sony dramatically underwhelmed expectations and Microsoft dramatically surpasses expecations.
With those truths noted, lets now talk about how the X360 will retain its 2.5M+ unit lead. The answer is the pending sales drop:
Bringing the X360 4GB down to $149, the X360 250GB to $249 and the X360 250GB Elite Bundle to $299 will do more for Xbox than dropping a PS3 to $249 or a shaved version to $199. $199 is a nice price for someone serious about buying a console but anything below that starts drawing in fence buyers and spur of the moment buyers (realistically the only people who havent jumped into this gen yet)
