I don't disagree that PS3 and 360 sales could be similar once the dust settles after the Holidays...but really is that a good thing for Sony?
What I am saying is that coming into this generation they expected to be doing what the Wii is doing, so being some 6m consoles behind the 360 and selling about as well is not exactly what they were hoping for from their first X-mas with WW availability.
Does it mean they are out of the race? Of course not, but at this point it is pretty unlikely they are going to be dominating anything this generation, let alone any time soon. The real test to determine if the PS3 is a flop will be scored by the end of spring '08. By then most of the huge titles that were delayed will have been released and we will know if it made the difference it needs to.
Edit: PS - About the controller in Snakes hands, I don't see why that is really a big deal. If all they have to do is make a model and a texture for a 360 controller and replace it with the SIXAXIS controller its not exactly hard work to swap them. But just because they can doesn't mean they will.
