The thing is that the article's title lost me right there. The PS3 has had lackluster sales for less than a year. Nintendo has had decreasing sales since the end of the 4th gen. For Sony's sake, I hope they don't have a bigger turnaround then Nintendo, as that would put their game division in dire straits before it happened.
