The PS3 might not be able to overtake the 360

Next Gen consoles should arrive around 2011, but PS3 will still be selling well into 2014 if it's anything like the PS2. It will make up any ground in the last 3 or so years of its life when 360 has stopped selling.

 

the difference is that the ps2 and ps1 were on top of the heap,

other systems were manufactured well past the start of the next gen as well

the snes lasted till 98 in the US and 2000 in Japan because it did well, 2 and 4 years after the 64

the nes lasted untill 94 in the US and I don't know when in Japan, 3 and 4+ years after the snes94,

sega did the same thing aswell

the sega master system was supported until 93 or 94 in Europe, 3 years past the genesis, as it did decently in Europe and it made it to 97 in Brazil because it was a hit there

the genesis was supported until 98
 in the US as it was a success, 3 years after the saturn was introduced

if the ps3 doesn't pull ahead it won't continue to live on just because it is made by sony, by that logic the 64 should have been supported just as long as the ps1 just because it was nintendo
