And there really are just two x-factors in my head.

1) Will either console see a price drop?
I think a price drop will help the PS3 a LOT more than it would the 360 at this point. MS is really dropping their momentum at this point.
2) IF games prove to be the system seller.

Halo didn't really prove to be a system mover. GTA has proven not to really move consoles. MGS 4 will move consoles, but it will iffy since it also comes with the console. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gears 2 will have to show they won't sell to the fanbase already.

Anyhow, I think at the end of the day Ps3 will sell more it has more ground to move on.

Halo 3 moved a good amount of systems actually. May seem like alot compared to the Wii, but it was I think the only month the 360 outsold the Wii.
