I can't speak on Europe because the is launching there as we speak. As for the rest of the world, the PS3 lost its momentum months before launch with a what seems to be a daily barrage of questionable announcements and just plain bad PR. All that combined with hardware shortages and a high price left the PS3 obliterating all the momentum the PS2 built for the Playstation brand. Sony finally seemed to be building some positive momentum but DMC4 multiplatform announcement and the Ace Combat 6 360 exclusive announcement has blunted that. Sony needs a significant price drop and successive months of hardware moving game titles to have a chance of regaining its momentum.
