I think it's silly to call the PS3 Sony's N64. The only similarity I see is they're both systems being released after the respective companies dominated the previous two generations of gaming. You can't compare Nintendo's decision to stick with cartriges, maybe the biggest error in judgement over a major console ever, to Sony's decision to make their PS3 a very expensive machine with incredibly advanced technology. The fact is the PS3 will do far better in Europe and in Japan than the N64 did. The PS3 is not going to shun third parties like the N64 did. The PS3 is a system ahead of its time, while the N64 was a system behind it's time. We really aren't going to be able to begin to predict Sony's long term succees with the PS3 for at least few years, but I think it's safe to say it'll eclipse the 33 million the N64 sold world wide long before the system loses steam.
