Wii will be the only console to make. You guys saying the PS3 will make it are being delusional.

really now, how many consoles did the PS2 sell AFTER the PS3 was launched

the PS3 is a gaurentee the new model this late into the generation confirms that

Different situation.

PS2 didn't have strong competition and was a great option for those who didn't want to buy expensive next gen hardware. Sony basically owned that market.

The PS3 on the other hand has very strong competition. Don't expect PS3 to have legs like PS2 because of the Wii and 360.

The Wii is dead in the water so it's quickly becoming a non-issue to the continued success of the PS3. The 360 may prove to be more of an issue but due to it reaching a mass-market price point years before the PS3 I can not see it benefiting as much from further price cuts. I really can't see the PS3 failing to coexist with the PS4 due to the 360 and especially not the Wii.

Bear in mind I'm just explaining why the PS2 and PS3 situations are different when it comes to potential legs. PS2 owned the market, PS3 does not.

For the next few years I believe the Wii will have continued success appealing to casual gamers and fans of Nintendo's 1st party lineup not looking to spend much money. The 360 has a similar userbase as the PS3 but does a better job at appealing to casual gamers.
