Ps2 is not the same as ps3. They don't even have the same name. Ps3 wasn't around last 2 gens and hasn't been leading saleswise at any point in its life. PS is a "brand", a trademark of sony corp.
People unfairly regard M$ as troubled due to the fact that their system has dropped even below the wii's price point and sales aren't what they should be relative to most home consoles at this price. Given that its the 360's main competitor is WAAY more expensive than it, combined with the perception that it has ALL ps3 games +more and essentially the same hardware, they expect M$ to extinguish sony's efforts this gen and it still isn't happening.
I agree with you on one thing though. I don't think M$ is in trouble. They sell a LOT of software which is where the money really is.
