n it isn't loosing 3rd Party support anywhere

so I dunno what your talking about

 

the PS3 has much more competition than the N64 could have ever dreamed of. The power of the Wii and 360 is greater than that of the PSX. Heck the Wii alone could do the job.

People dont buy a console that cost twice as much if all the games the avergae games wants are on the other console. The Multiplat system naturally favors the cheaper console. I mean really, If GTA4, FFX13, DMC, were still sony exclusive then do you think things would look a little different right now?

Also they have LOST some. DQX, possible KH3, and all those RPGs that MS bought kinda say hello...

The market is far bigger now. Though the Wii could be bigger than the PS2 (and will be bigger than the PS1) the competitors will do far better as well all 3 consoles are selling well

The OP never suggested the sales of the N64 and PS3 would be the same, he just suggested the situation would be. So market growth is not as important.

The n64 was successful but hugely disapointing because it was so much less than the SNES, the PS3 is seeing fine sales, but considering where it was last gen... it is very disapointing.

I really think the PS3 will go on to sell 40-50 million consoles which would put it in the SNES's range, but is the PS3 going to be as successful as the SNES... heck no.
