We can play that game all day...  For example, remember six years ago when the PS3 was unanimously declared the market leader before it was even released?  Remember after a tragic first year it was still supposed to hit ludicrous sales while Wii would have *negative* sales?

This gen has been crazy.  People got carried away with Wii's great success, that is true.  But the Wii exceeded expectations.  The PS3 didn't live up to expectations.

my point exactly. alot has been said throughout this generation and look how unpredictable it has been. so is it really that hard to see ps3 finishing above the wii when all is said and done? considering the wii has a successor releasing this fall, where as we dont know when the next playstation is coming leaves room for a few more years of strong sales for playstation 3. its extremely far fetched i know, but not IMPOSSIBLE.

I think you're trying to make the exception the rule.  Just because things didn't go as planned this gen doesn't mean PS3 will sell ahead of the Wii just because we never expected it.  I agree that it's not impossible, but it's so improbable that I feel confident in saying that it won't happen.
