To all the people that say next year will be about the same or worse but PS3 will come back in the years following.. You couldn't be more incorrect..
While I think the PS3 will do well for its lifetime sales, a console can not come out of a year and a half long tail spin for one reason.. MOMENTUM
The Wii will be THE MUST OWN CONSOLE, even more so than it is today by the beginning of 2010 and the XBOX 360 will be THE HD console by the same time if Sony can't rectify the PS3's sales next year.
People will always buy the most popular console. I'm talking mass market here, where the sales come from later into the generation.. If the PS3 is seen as a sinking console next year then how are the mass market gonna pick it over an extremely cheap 360 and the must own console in the Wii?
I think that people are getting ahead of themselves and the PS3 can still get back on track but if it doesn't do so next year then no, it will not come back at the competition. ever.
Which also means that it will have the shortest lifespan.. which is kind of ironic..
