There are a couple very simple things going against the PS3 reclaiming #1.

 1.  No console in a given generation that was the most expensive never took the first spot against cheaper competitiors.  Look at Saturn, 3DO, Turbo Grafx 16, and Neo Geo for great examples.

 2.  This one is kind of superstitious but no console in the past 20 years has ever dominated for more than two generations straight. 

Add to the fact that Wii is outselling it by a large margin and Microsoft is formidable competitor makes a Sony "comeback" extrememly hard but not impossible.  I believe Nintendo will be the #1 for this gen. (Just look at vg charts on how fast they are catching up and either PS3 or 360 will be at #2.   Its harder to determine that one.)

 

of course history is important but that doest always mean its right.. for instance for all those consoles you named i could argue that none of them were as succesful as the ps3 this early or in its entire lifespan... im not sayin that its going to overtake the wii because i dont but i dont think its wise to compare those consoles to this console..

 

and no company has ever dominate for over 3 generations straight not 2.. nintendo had 2 sony had 2 already... but like i said earlier i think its gonna be a fight for 2nd place until later in the lifespan of the 360 and ps3 but dam if i know
