the PS3 weathers the storm, now over the next 6 months we will see if it has enough to sail back home.

It won't just make it back, it'll make it back with tales of a brand new gaming era unlike any other with a host of gaming treasures for its fans.

Good things come to those who wait.

N64 in 1998 ...
Gamecube/XBox in 2003 ...

There really is no "comming back" from becomming the trailing console. The NES, SNES, Gameboy, Playstation, PS2, Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS all demonstrate the standard pattern of getting the lead early, using that lead to build (massive) thrid party support, and leveraging that third party support to build their dominant market position. Right now Nintendo is pushing publishers to give the Wii (at least) equal resources to the XBox 360/PS3 which will translate into dramatically more Wii games being produced than PS3/XBox 360 games; and Microsoft is pushing publishers to release every PS3 game on the XBox 360.

Both Microsoft and Nintendo are in a position to effectively block any comeback the PS3 could attempt ...
