Time to bring out old faithful... Tada!
As you can see, PS3 needs a late 2009 similar to 360's late 2008 to stay ahead of the 360 sales curve, but a well timed price cut and some wicked software will deliver the goods.
This year will be the true test year for whether PS3 can maintain sufficient momentum to have a successful 3rd generation in the console gaming market and come out with a gentlemanly draw with the 360 (a gentlemanly draw being the PS3 at or above the 360 LTD sales curve by the time the nextbox comes out).
As it stands PS3 is only unsuccessful in comparison to it's own 2 previous generations. In the context of this generation and a number of other companies' previous generations the PS3 is doing just fine, and there is no reason to believe Sony can't see this gen through to a perfectly acceptable conclusion.
PS3 FSTP!
