I like to say this again and again, but even if the PS3 overtakes the Xbox 360 worldwide, they will still lose this gen.
I think the downfall of the PS3 is legendary. It will be lucky to get 50% of the sales of the predecessor and Sony will never make money with it. There is no other way than to accredit that Sony is THE loser this gen. This is no flamebait, this is just reality. You have to see it from macro-prespective.
Of course Nintendo is THE winner. From last place last gen, to close to 50% market share is awesome. And the DS was never as brilliant as it is today. The Wii might sell 500% - 600% more than the Gamecube.
MS did very well. They will break even with the 360 very soon and they will sell 150% more consoles than last gen. Xbox Live continues to grow. In a few months, there will be more Xbox Live users than the original Xbox sold consoles.
About the PS3 overtaking the 360, I think I heard this before...

It has sold 31 million in 3 years do the maths ps3 will be a 100m+ seller.

yeah, because it will sell forever.
Do you really think the PS3 will sell 10 million per year till 2017? You know that there will be a Wii 2, Xbox 3 and a PS4 on the market years before?!
The allmighty PS2 was released holiday 2000. It is by far the most successful console ever.
The PS2 sold 12 million in the past two years. You expect the PS3 to outsell the PS2 by almost 100% in this point of its lifecycle?!
No way Jose
