The PS3 fans like ethomaz are kinda hopeful or delusional depending how you look at it, but short answer is that in a years time both the 360 and PS3 sales legs will be cut off, just like the Wii is now.

360 and PS3 do not follow Wii's pattern at all. They will not tumble near as much as Wii, especially not the PS3. Sure, a big drop, but nowhere near the ~50% drop that Wii saw year after year.

The next Xbox and PS4 buzz will slow their sales to a crawl. Maybe PS3 will sell a bit more due to Europe and Japan, but at their slowed rate, they wont reach 1st place. Doesnt mean they will stop selling all together, but certainly wont surpass Wii.

I always thought that would be the case, but lately I'm thinking that Xbox 360 and PS3 sales will remain strong even with successors on the market. The Xbox and PS3 have huge libraries of great games, multimedia applications, and lower price points -- three things that make them desirable. I think PS4 and the next Xbox might get off to slow starts, only because the seventh generation systems provide so much value at a lower cost.
