I'm not sure I agree with the peak @ year 3 / dead at year 5 pattern applying to the 360. Consider the situation - the PS3 & 360 are receiving equal support. Their exclusives pretty much nullify any differences out. The third party support is overwhelming considering they're "losing consoles". So much so, that it's really hard to imagine the 360 dead 2 years from now. This wasn't at all the case for the N64 / GC / Xbox (I think). Compare the Wii's software since launch to the HD consoles - has the console leader ever been so close to the "losers" before?
I can see the PS3 winning over the long haul, if the Others market keeps it selling long enough to edge it out. It's a tough call either way.
