The ps3...has it lost any chance of it getting 2nd or 3rd place?

Well, as I stated many times before the PS3 will finish 2nd IMHO. It will not pass 360 in 2008, but it will eventually. The reason is solely due to Japan being much more in PS3's favor, especially after games like FF13 drop. Then, unlike right now, PS3 will eventually gain Others, this will be enough to put PS3 in a comfortable 2nd place.

 

EDIT: I read the first few posts and removed my beginning paragraph.

Not that I disagree with what you're saying, but the Gamecube sold far better in Japan than the XBox did and the XBox still sold more units worldwide than the Gamecube did ...

 That would be because the Xbox sold much better in both NA and Europe than Gamecube. That is why I made that distinction in my post. Below is how I see it by 2010.

NA = 360 >> PS3 

Japan = PS3 >> 360

Others (eventually) = PS3 > 360
