The PS3 won't make it past 2012 in America at retail.

X-Box 360 is dominating America, but most of those sales come from "fly over" states and rural farm towns. Here in NYC for example, games like the MLB the Show have PS3 winning the HD console war easy. We all know that if Sony holds down key areas like major citys and Japan who are trend setters, then PS3 will be the more wanted item, while the 360's "walmart darling" bargain bin image could devastate the 360's chances for long term viability.

 

 I didn't understand the Fly Over u mentioned......anyways in a nutshell PS3 is going to dethrone 360.

In a nutshell, this will never happen in America.  Even if the PS3 doubled the 360's sales from here on out it would take 5 years to break even.  5 years of double the 360's sales each week.  Not going to happen.

 I do realise the pain staking effort u take to protect ur console's sales viewpoint. Try to remember the fact that PS2 had grossed 10 mn to its worldwide userbase in just four months starting Sept 2002 to Jan'03. U can expect the same trend here upon not only the anticipated big exclusives but other upcoming action/RPGs. I agree to ur statement that ps3 will never take the top spot in America...but will always be competing close.
