My simple theory as to why the "analysts" are always rooting for Sony.

PS3 > X360, that's for sure. I think analysts simply believe that Wii's success is going to end, or PS3 is going to get a major boost when its price drops. And I, too, believe that PS3 is going to get a major boost when its price gets cut. However, it's very hard to say if then can cut it in time. Also, Playstation is a huge brand and huge brands tend to sell a lot. At the moment it seems Wii is going to win but it's not possible to be sure about that.

Saying Sony's PS3 is likely to "win" against the Wii is like saying Suzuki is likely to bury Toyota in 10 years. It isn't going to happen (market forces dont work like that) but the analysts are just doing their jobs. They have to put a good face on Sony.

Did you even read my reasoning? Three reasons isn't much but they're all huge, especially if they all happened to be true. PS3 definitely has a chance of winning even if Wii didn't fail at all. It's the price cuts that determine whethre Sony's wins or not, backed up by the brand and possibly made easier by Wii's failure (which seems very unlikely at the moment). Also, I didn't say I believed PS3 is going to defeat Wii anymore. I think they're going to cut the price as soon as possible if they want to defeat Wii, if it even is possible with Wii selling very well and there being no end in sight to it. However, there is a chance, although not a very big one. Oh, and your example has nothing to back it up, but this case has.
