Sony so far is the only company to have so much going against them and still be able to pull out this huge comeback over the past few months.

You OP says that it's doubtful the PS3 will overtake the 360 in sales. I don't think that is doubtful. I believe the PS3 will surpass 360 sales next year.

As for the PS3 Sony has shown that they are intent on using a core that could have up to 24 SPU's vs the PS3's 7.

Blu-Ray may have some slight tweaks when they launch the PS4. But pretty much Sony is going to make the PS4 just like the PS2. An Evolutionary step not a revolutionary one.

PS1 was revolutionary. PS2 was evolutionary. PS3 is revolutionary. PS4 will be evolutionary.
PSP and Go are/were revolutionary.

LOL. "Comeback". Aren't they still losing money on each PS3 sold?


They might still be losing money on the PS3 Slim, but I don't think they are losing as much as before the slim. Or they could be losing the same amount and they needed the Slim to help get more people on board and still lose the same amount of money before the price drop.

BUT the PS3 is on fire right now. Sales are amazing for the "doomed and gloomed" system. People early this year was even talking about Sony needing to leave the gaming industry because of the poor sales of the PS3 compared to the competition and the previous Playstations. Now look at the Playstation 3. Amazingly strong consistent sales, going into the most competitive holiday the PS3 has given and a great advertising campaign.

 

So yes, a COMEBACK.
