The N64 comparison is semi-enlightening, except it ignores that Nintendo had the first- and second-party muscle to keep that platform alive and relative well. Sony has a window of opportunity in late 2007 into 2008 where a bunch of triple-A third-party titles put into production before the PS3s sales troubles were apparent will come out. If Final Fantasy, MGS4, etc. don't succeed in building a critical install base, things look bleak.
