As far as sales are concerned, I'd consider it having lost to the Wii, but not the 360 as the sales difference between itself and the latter will be rather negligible when all is said and done.
Other than that, Sony has certainly been weakened in the console market, but it certainly isn't in a position where it can't recover and once again become the top player. Its third-party support has remained largely intact, and its actually managed to expand its in-house library. As long as it doesn't make the mistake of releasing a really over-engineered $600 console next gen, things will be fine.
Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3
