I'm not ignoring those facts.  The ps3 may do very well in the future.  The fact is, it's not doing very well now.  The 360 has many more software sales when compared with the ps3 and the ps3 loses a lot of its exclusives because devs know they just can't make that much money releasing only on the ps3.  >< My grammar is crap right now, sorry.  I got called in to work at 4 am and i'm hella tired atm.  This last hour or so is the only slow time i've had since.  =/

 

Does the 360 have 'that many' more software sales when compared to the PS3?   It seems to me that they are pretty solid when you consider the extra 8 million or whatever amount of people the 360 has relatively.   

And while I wouldn't say the PS3 is doing wonderful right now..The PS3 is really not doing that bad.  Considering it remains 200$ higher than it's primary competitor (Which it just outsold the 360 last week WW).   

 

We already know that when the PS3 narrows that price gap with the 360 it outsells it weekly/monthly.  Price is still the biggest factor holding the PS3 back.

Whatever the PS3 sells, its sales will almost certainly be bad.

Just because you've accepted that the PS3 will not be first, doesn't give anyone the right to actually say they are 'good'. Because every week the PS brand gets weaker and all the good work of the past is slowly getting unrolled by the PS3.

 

I don't see it that way at all.  Regardless of how this generation ends up. (Whether PS3 takes 2nd or 3rd place),  One thing is for sure.  Sony is not out of this game, not by a long shot. Nintendo has hung around for quite sometime. (N64/Gamecube) both of which were 'failures' under the same definition that the PS3 has been defined as one. 

If anything, the game just got a lot more interesting.  Microsoft has proven themselves capable after this generation (After the abortion that was the original Xbox).  Nintendo has pulled out of the darkness of the past two generations of mediocre selling consoles. 

The next generation will be even more interesting than this one currently.  With three viable competitors and three brands that now have proven track records of success.
