While I don't believe it will catch the Wii or even make much of a move towards the Wii.   I do think the PS3 has a good possibility of taking 2nd place (end game) this generation.  Selling at a higher clip/time on the market at a higher price.  A vast majority of Japanese HD console upgrades will go in drastically in favor of the PS3.   The PS3 will almost certainly win in "Others".   

The real hurdle is the US.  (Which IMO is far more based on pricing then other territories).   I think as the price drops on the PS3 the US sales will pick up rapidly.  (Maybe not high enough to ever 'catch' the 360 in the US).  But enough that the combined effect of higher JPN numbers / higher others numbers will make the difference.

There are a lot of factors that will affect the 360/PS3 race, but I was only asking about how he thinks the PS3 is goign to be making a move on the Wii. The rest of it is immaterial.

 

      Pretty much for the same reason the PSP has been making a move on the DS the past two years.  I didn't expect to see the PS3 dishing out the same kind of treatment to the Wii in Japan this year that the PSP has been doing for the last two years until sometime in 2010.  Yet,, costing twice as much, the PS3 has been slugging it out toe to toe with the Wii in Japan so far this year.  If the PS3 gets an exclusive out of Hideo Kojima's next project, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus III, increased exclusives from Japanese developers, and Kingdom Hearts 3 as another exclusive from Square, then how could it not make some kind of  move  at the Wii?  Look at how well Nintendo's last couple of consoles fared in the long run against the last two Sony consoles.  If the Wii's numbers dropped off to Gamecube levels worldwide for some inexplicable reason at this point in the near future while the PS3's numbers suddenly heated up to PS2 type numbers, the PS3 would have made up the Wii's lead by the end of 2010.
