Not gonna read all of the posts but, PS3 won't be a failure I'm almost sure of it, on brand alone it'll be okay just like N64 and GCN. I don't think it will be #1 though.
I also have to say I give sony till 2009 after the 2008 Christmas season dies to garner support otherwise it may very well be doomed. See it's powerful fine, but if developers ignore it for 2008 only releasing already planned projects and ports, it won't get much love in 2009 because it's adoption rate lead to nothing being developed in 2008 for the next year. That would contribute to lower sale which would contribute to less support. It's a terrible cycle but we all know it.
I'd say if by 2009 start Sony doesn't have a higher install it may very well come in third this gen. I do have it fixed at a VERY healthy 2nd possibly even 1st though and I think they can possibly pull through but the clock is ticking. I have the 360 at an almost certain 3rd place..
Another note is.. I was a Nintendo fan through N64, GCN, Virtual boy... Gameboy Color and many many bad times, if you're gonna give up over the PS3, man you never were much of a fan..Root for your team, ESPECIALLY when they need it.
Also keep in mind you can always watch the other teams, but always leave your love where it truely lies.
