When the ps3 was miles away, it mattered greatly, now it's close and ready to over take, it doesn't matter anymore. I call shenanigans but hey, whatever.

That's because everyone expected the PS3 to continue Sony's dominance in the console market, not relegate it to a distant third place for the majority of this generation.  Now that this gen is coming to a close and the next one will be fully in gear by end of '13 / early '14, Sony barely topping the 360 after giving away so much market share from just 5 years ago and with the 360 being severely handicapped in one of the three biggest gaming markets, Japan, is just a minor consolation prize in the grand scheme of things.

Another thing, this holiday season, the Wii U would be in the role of either thne 360 of this generation, or some would argue the Dreamcast of the last generation.  The main focus now is if the Wii U will build up sufficiently large enough lead to make a difference long term, the way the 360 did.  It is very likely the Wii U steals all the buzz this season, and ends up being the new system of choice to get.
