Lol i actually think PS4 is in the worst position for next holiday, due to strong PS3 sales

Exactly.  PS3 is just now beginning to hit it's stride.  It was very much a late bloomer, and sales in the west, particularly Europe, as well as some emerging markets, seem to be giving PS3 a second life after US and Japanese sales have begun to cool off. 

PS3 might very well be the first Sony console to actually justify the "ten-year lifecycle" slogan.

Just hitting its stride.  What the hell does that mean?

it is in a steep decline. It hit its stride in 2009/10 and 11.

it sold 14m in 2011, be lucky to sell 9m this year.

And first console to justify 10 year plan? The 360 sold 2.5m more in its 7th year on sales than the PS3 did.

And I wasn't referring to system sales in regards to the ten year lifecycle, I was more alluding to the new IP's that have yet to be released, which is fairly unprecendented for a seven year-old platform.
