2009 is gonna be PS3's year,after the launch of the 160gb and slim PS3 with price reduction and some most awaited exclusives and more games and HOME.PS3 second this gen behind WII and ahead of X360 if you see,X360 launched an year before WII and PS3.If you go by that then the sales figures are as follows:

WII :33.4m   (NOV 2006-OCT 2008) 23 Months

PS3 : 15.90m (NOV 2006-OCT 2008) 23 Months

X360 : 13.8m (NOV 2005-NOV 2007) 24 Months

X360 : 21.4 (NOV 2005-OCT 2008) 35 Months

PS3's peak will be around 2009 end and 2010.Till that period,it would have launched the slim PS3 and the best tittles out there and price reduction would have happened because they are currently producing a new 45mm Cell Processor.It would level Xbox and just pass Xbox 360 by 2009 end and would be near WII BY 2010.After that everybody knows what happens from the PS2 and PS1 gem.X360 and WII will start to die.The reason everybody buys WII is that it is so cheap,but not everybody who owns it plays it,75 percent of WII's sold are just lying around and not being used.In X360's case,it is just selling in America the most.Its sales are decreasing month by month as the PS3 BECOMES cheaper.Everybody knows that PS3  is more supreme than X360 hardware wise.Once the PS3 edges out X360 in sales and as it becomes cheaper more and more developers will start to put more attention on PS3 and will make more exclusives for PS3.Nowadays most of the developers that take out games for X360 and PS3,DEVELOP THE game first for 360 and then they put it on blu-ray for PS3 because a 360's game aren't that big and can be put on a blu-ray disc but a PS3 game which is bigger can't be put on an hd-dvd.GTA 4 was first an exclusive for PS3 but later MS paid them money to bring the game on X360.That's why GTA 4 was just around 6gbs,earlier when it was PS3 exclusive it was as big as 34gbs and very lengthy game as SAN ANDREAS but was later cut to fit on X360.Xbox 360 gonna lose to PS3 as HD-DVD lost to BLU-RAY.

75% of Wiis sold are not being used. Where did you get that from? The other 25% are buying a huge amount of games then.

You can say all you want but the year of the PS3 is 2008,why? They stoped sluggish sales and put up a figiht against xbox 360 even with a higher price tag,No other year can be the year of the PS3 unless they start selling as much as the Wii.

Btw every sony fanboy will say every  year is the year of the PS3,2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-2014-2015-2016 all  years of the PS3,but the REAL year of the PS3 is 2008.

The 160 GB version is a limited deal only over here...

2006 is the PS3 year...
No, now 2007...
2008?
Two thousand... nine? No, it probably won't be.

Dear Lord :s another Year of the Ps3 thread!

Every year we can speculate and ever year PS3 could improve and yet it can become antoher year of the PS3.

For some facts though, so far, every year has been the year of the Wii. Lets face it, the Wii is kicking ass, the 360 after the price drop is doing ooooooookay and the PS3 is doing well for a console at its price.

Confirmed! 2009! Another year of Wii domination!

 I wish you used some facts to backup the discussion.

Firstly, i think two years maybe the year of the ps3 2008 (because of the turn around in sales and momentum) and a year between 2010 and 2013, where the price hits a sweet point.

Secondly there are a few points you need to consider

• The will has more sales ahead, than behind it, wait till you can buy the wii for $80USD.
• I think you underestimate the power of the Xbox360
• The PS3 Thin version is a minimum of 2-3 years away. Smaller units result from the combo of multiple ics onto one piece of silicon
  
• The smaller die size also costs money to get to, a price reduction is not always forth coming.
• A good game takes 2-3 years of development (some developers are already developing for the next gen)
• If the PS3 doesnt take the lead in a big way in the next 6-12 months, then it will not dominate (opinion)
  
• bluRay has less significance as Standalone bluray players are already 1/2 the price of the PS3
• MS will not go away anytime soon
• MS only in the last 3 months have got ontop of their problems, so watch out, they are very competitive. I would think even Sony would be very worried
• Every price drop from Sony will be matched or bettered by MS.
• MS is selling more games than Sony

yippi !!! sony wins !!
