It seems like the shift in sales momentum towards the Xbox 360 has brought back the ugly PS3 is doomed talk from some people. I just want to help end that kind of nonsense thinking now because the PS3 is in no way in trouble. It has achieved enough sales to keep it well supported for the rest of this generation regardless of how things turn out.
It's funny to even hear the doom talk because this situation isn't even similar to the PSP for example which is seeing some of its worst hardware and software sales in the West and is still able to have some great third party games thanks to the support it is getting fron just one region. The PS3 by comparison is doing well in all three regions having its best sales ever.
I also want to point out that even if the smoke clears later in the year and we see the Xbox 360 putting some real distance between it and the PS3 it is still good for PS3 gamers. The more new HD gamers the better and it will help to make HD game development that much more attractive to third parties. Best of all it could even lead to an even more diverse selection of games for all HD gamers.
Well that's all so please remember that the next time you see new sales numbers.
