I read your entire post, like you requested at the end of your post. I don't belive N64/PSX is comparable to this gen with xbox 360 vs. Sony
(btw, PSX didn't "completely dominate" a much better description would be "PSX won handily")

PSX came before the N64. N64 was the one hyped. N64 is the one that messed up, then later got really good first party and rare games, yet didn't win.

Xbox 360 came before PS3. PS3 was the one hyped. Both Xbox 360 and PS3 messed up, but PS3 more so imo. Both are moving to fix thier mistake (N64 did not, they stuck with carts)
I don't think we can predict the future. The end of this gen is still very far away. My guess though is the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be very close, either 5m away either way for either console, or perhaps virtually tied. I don't believe either will sell for than 50m.

Yes, but the ps1 had the games, and it looks like the ps3 will have the games as well.  My point was that the games helped the system overcome it's higher price point.  Why couldn't that happen for the ps3 as well?

Also, the ps1 did dominate.  It beat the n64 by 60-70 mil. consoles.
