I'd say that were the case, IF Microsoft weren't the clear-cut leader in the online arena. XBox Live far surpasses anything comparable from Sony or Nintendo, and honestly, that really seems to be where things are moving these days. If anything, I think it's the Playstation that will be declining. For quite some time, Microsoft was making no real inroads with the XBox in Japan, Sony's home turf. That changed with the 360. Overall, the 360 is doing better worldwide, and has done better than the PS3 in several key markets. Really, it's the PS3 that is struggling, and it's Microsoft's game to lose. And Sony has taken a number of hits with previously PS-only titles crossing over (most notably the Ace Combat series), whereas the XBox has (and has retained) many of its core franchises, such as Halo, Gears of War, the Fable games, so on and so forth. I'm not the biggest fan of Microsoft, but the 360 is simply the better console with the better online setup.
