One thing I never see people mention as a reason why people choose a console is also one of the biggest reasons why people choose the consoles they buy ... People often choose to buy a console because their friends or family own that console; this is one of the main reasons why a console that is selling at a rapid rate continues to sell at a rapid rate, regardless of what the other consoles do or have.
Price reductions, Blu-Ray and some big game releases will maintain the PS3's sales in the near future but it will eventually face the reality of being the third placed console. By the time Blu-Ray becomes a truely desireable feature for mainstream consumers Blu-Ray players will be (at least) $100 cheaper than a PS3, there will be more people who own Wii systems than the combined total of XBox 360 and PS3 owners, and many of the most anticipated games will be announced as Wii exclusive.
I'm surprised every day to see the Wii outsell the PS3 and XBox 360 combined, while being in short supply, and yet see people like finalsquall make claims like "I see domination for the ps3 and yes - will take down the wii eventually"
