So then why do I hear alot of talk that the PS3 will come back and move into 2nd place and more than likely in first?

Some people believe that Playstation on top is the natural order of the industry simply because the first two Playstations were market leader.

Oh...and thats what I figured. But its a totally different scenario this gen.

 It's almost ridiculous that those are based on "what", the dominance of the last two, rather than "how", the factors that led to it.
