They were proven wrong, Sony is in third place and they deserved it, up until they ditched that device that thinks it can walk in the footsteps of the PS2.

 

Hmm, taking into account the start of sales of XBOX and PS3 it is difficult to say that the PS3 is clearly in 3rd place. It is more the opposite case http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php

 

 

Try with 210 weeks.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&weeks=210

Launch ps3-----> +5,3 millions 360  http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&start=39019&end=39320&weekly=1

now--------------> +7,7 millions 360  

Selling more before and after.



Maybe it's the fact that Sony was once on top of the mountain in this industry, and the fall from grace has been swift and brutal. The worst thing about being on top is the fall to the bottom, and maybe the transition from PS2 dominance to PS3 heel-dragging has had a damaging effect on the fanboy psyche, leaving them vulnerable and insecure. Maybe fanboys are suffering from a severe case of paranoid delusion, brought about by denial that the PS3 is in third place when once Sony was leading the charge.
