You're absolutely right, though one thing should not be forgotten: Luckily for Sony they can make another cool billion on the PS2 before the PS3 has to start lifting heavy in earnest. You can find evidence for that in the low price of the PS3 in Japan: It's the only place where the PS2 has started to run out of steam so far.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
