The unreliability of the 360 could be the only thing that could save the PS3.

Doubtful, the Ps2 had reliability issues (although I don't believe quite as extensively as the 360) yet it still sold insanely well, and when they broke, it only resulted in additional Ps2 sales due to the stellar library, right now the 360 has the best current gen library, and the pattern will continue unless a competing console can equal or surpass it in # of games and quality.

 

Hopefully the 65nm chips are much better.

 The PS2 is not the 360.  My initial comment about saving the PS3 was mostly a joke.  However, I don't think that comparing the initial launch woes of the PS2 to the two years running consistent problem with the 360 hardware is fair.  And what pattern are you suggesting....that the rebuys for the 360 will make it become the next PS2?  

 No, I doubt the 360 will be even close to 120+ million, but the 360 has an incredible game library which won't be equaled by the ps3 for at least another year. If a gamer wants to play any of the games they already own for the 360 they either need a new 360 ($350 premium) or a new ps3 ($499, or $599 if the 60gb is sold out by now)  plus $60 for each game to buy a ps3 copy.
