like last year, where people kept saying that PS3 domination would start eventually

@Avinash_Tyagi, actually, ALL media was saying that PS3 is DOOMED.

So you're banking on that PS3 will be popular once certain things happen,
Some people will buy PS3 when GT5/FFXIII/MGS4/KZ2 will be released. Some will buy, when ps3 get 299$ or 249$ price.
Unless you have FACTS, that people won`t buy when all these options become true, there is nothing bad in stating that ps3 will reach 100 mln.

While stating that ps3 won`t reach 100 mln. based on what? On FIRST year sales? or x360 sales? WHY not on PSone and PS2 sales? WHY you ignore PSone and PS2 sales/games-sequels?
You don`t want PS3 to SUCCEED, right?

@Rath, Mario, Mario, Mario, Zelda. =)
25 mln. GC and 120 mln. PS2. End of story.

@Gnizmo, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles 1.36m
Tales of Symphonia  1.08m
You count 1-1,5 mln. sellers as BIG games?
Well, PS2 had over 200 million sellers. =)

Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo 3, and more that I am forgetting. You are dodging the point though. Why would a great Wii or Xbox exclusive make less impact that a PS3 exclusive given the games were equally well made and popular?
Those games coming to PC. PS3 games appeal to BIGGER user base. Playstation Consoles always had BIGGER variety in genres.
As an addendum I would like to ask for you to back up one of your statements with some facts. Which games on both the 360 and PS3 are better on the PS3? So far as I have heard every single one released has technical problems on the PS3 but not the 360 making the 360 one the superior game.
We speak about 2008-2012 sales. Can you name these games?
Well it is a fact that it costs Sony $400 to make a PS3 by their own admission. It is a fact that they sell it to retailers for less than that. It is a fact that PS3s are sold at a loss.
By HOW much LESS? provide me FACTS. Ps3 TODAY still cost 400$ to produce? How do you know? You work for Sony or What? Just your opinion? Ok.
