I believe that by the end of the generation the PS3 will be second, but it'll be 3rd during the entire period oof the generation that matters. The new Xbox 720 will probably be out for about a year when the PS3 surpasses the 360, and that really is a huge victory for Microsoft. Microsoft and Nintendo have gained way too much ground this generation for Sony to consider anything a victory at this point.

If MS and Nintendo start the 8th gen too early I predict the PS3 will compete with them and do quite well. PS4 can come out 2 years after the start of the 8th gen and still be a success if it has a good sales curve, even if that still puts them behind (total wise) of the other two.

Third place isn't bad if you make a profit, look at Nintendo. And now that Nintendo is first place, their third place mentality has made them the most profit ever in the gaming industry.
