PS3 can still finish in first place.

Both PS3 and 360 could get to first place eventually, depending on when Nintendo drop the Wii.

Both are going to nearly double their bases?  5 years in?  I just find that hard to believe, despite the PR assurances of standard 10 year cycles (that's working out great for PSP btw) or add ons giving them an extra 5 years to try and actually make money on this whole thing...

After this Holiday season, it's not going to be doubling the base. Would be a better discussion after we've had this holiday season.

PSP is a pirates paradise that has been abandoned by 3rd parties. If you want a comparison to PSP, I point you towards the Wii (Although the Wii has had continual good support from Ninty).

Both consoles have excellent support from 1st, 2nd and 3rd parties. They're both still selling very well. They both either have, or are getting within a couple of weeks, a new control scheme. And they both have plenty of room for pricecuts.

3rd parties don't want new consoles. Sony and MS are both profiting from the HW somewhat. SW sales are still strong.

Both will reach at least 75 Million units lifetime.

reaching at least 75 million doesn't make either 360 or PS3 outsell Wii though. Under what condition could either one eventually outsell Wii?

Me too, this ought to be fun. XD

You two have been very quiet until this thread, I wonder why?

Why, should I have participated a lot more, then? Does anyone seriously believe PS3 will end in 1st place? XD

Trust me, only the OP believes the PS3 will finish first.

After reading through the thread, it's apparent that several others truly believe in it as well. OP is not alone!
