Yes there are many parallels but factoring the Wii out makes it very quesionable at best, the 360 can´t do what the PS2 has done but neither can the PS3, the 360 (and MS) can be very happy if they can fend of the PS3 for long enough (best case cenario beating it... but very unlikely) the PS3 can be happy if it eventually beats the 360 by more than five to ten million... and they can both be happy if the Wii doesn´t get to much 3rd party support and doesn´t completly skyrocket.
I know many PS3 fanboys overuse thins phrase but the PS3 still has a brandname many people think highly even if is worse than in PS2 days it still does the PS3 some good.
Edit: Looks like Crucial pointed that out already (Welcome to VGchartz BTW) problem with this is you can never tell how many people really stick to a brand that was so popular (mostly) because of 3rd party games, Nintendo has their fans in a stranglehold since only the big N can give them their fix, if Sony ceeps loseing important 3rd party exclusives their brand name may become unimportant.
