Other consoles sold most of their units below $200 because they didn't cost $600 since day one, They got that price ($200) in less than 2-3 years when many of the best games were coming or already came. When PS3  be at $200 or $250 , it will  already have gotten its best games and will be in its 5th year. Is not the same situation than other gen. consoles.

PS3 has already peaked.

I agree, if you look at trends for the PS2, GCN, XB, DS, PSP, and GBA, you will see that most consoles have sales peaks 2-3 years after launch, DS was the expection and too 4 years, but it's also the best selling system, and will have a much wider sales period (in terms of years).

If you compare PS3, Wii and 360 sales, you will see PS3 follows PSP very closely (PSP was released a year and a half before the PS3, and had peak sales in 2008). Wii follows PS2 sales curves slowly, and the 360, I really don't know. It's sales keep going up, and up, at a very linear rate, but it's likely to peak this year.

Just have to follow trends, and before you know it successor consoles will come.
