Interesting topic here.
First of all to compare the PS3 sales with the N64 sales is pointless. The industry has grown by sooo much that a last place console is of course going to sell alot more that a last place console 2 generations ago. Really kinda pointless.
As far as Sony losing so much money from the PS3. Well Sony made a beast of a system and had to sell it at massive losses for years, wich i find very amusing personally...=0). But again this is nothing new. As i understand it, and i could be wrong, but even with Nintendo getting there asses handed to them the past 2 generations didn't they still make more money then Sony did on the PS1 and PS2?
Sony can afford to take huge losses like that because there so big. Nintendo can't. That makes me respect Nintendo alot more then Sony. To bring some baseball into it, its kinda like rooting for a low budget team to win the world series over the, lets say Yankees.
Even with these 2 points I gatta say I own a PS3 and I love it. I love it right next to my Wii and I play them both often. It is nice to see the PS3 get out of the dumps this gen and i really rooting for it to beat the 360. =0)...But stay WAYYYYY behind my Wii lol.
Anyways gratz on the "milestones". It really is good to see Sony back in the fight. If nothing else at least it will push Nintendo to greater hights. The 2010 lineup is a good start!
