Can the PS3 still catch up with the Wii?

I guess the point would be as of this point in time, is the PS3 really that profitable? I'm guessing not really so even if it does pass the Wii, it won't make Playstation 3 more profitable than the Wii was to Nintendo. The Wii sold most in its first couple of years at full price. People are probably getting PS3s for next to nothing.

Doesn't really matter how much the console is making though. As long as the games continue to sell Sony will make profits from the platform royalties. Still probably won't match the Wii but it will certainly help.

True enough, but we're talking drops in a bucket being most games bought will probably be used. I did it for PS3 when I got mine two years ago. Get the system cheap, get all the games used and you get a massive library for next to nothing (nevermind about downloadable games, all I'm gonna say if you trade user names and passwords). As I said, will it get some profit? Sure, but drops in a bucket. Or more realistically it's like drops in an ocean.
