I think the PS3 was poised to trend upwards anyways, the games selection is getting stronger every month. A lot of people that may have bought 360's are now going to start looking at the PS3. All of my gamer friends/relatives have the 360, we are all now starting to buy the PS3.
In addition, look at the latest sales numbers, the PS3 almost matched the Wii. Interestingly though, there was only ONE PS3 game title in the top 10, at a relatively unimpressive #8. I think this shows a lot of PS3 sales are going for Blu-ray playback. Obviously Sony's long-term strategy is sound, but it was based on them winning the HDM war, which is why they went all out.
It will be interesting to track game sales for the 360 and the PS3 long-term, as this will be a better indicator as to which is stronger in the console war, as the PS3 will likely pass the 360 at some point with the benefit of the Blu-ray movie crowd who never play games.
