DFC: PS3 unlikely to finish in 3rd place

You could have simplified that down into one statement: The PS3 is currently selling in all regions at the speed the PS2 sold in Japan, thus their numbers are not at all comparable. The PS3 and the Gamecube on the other hand aren't far off at all (the PS3 is 20% behind the gamecube). That's a pretty solid comparison.

 

Right on, the PS3 is selling worse in both Japan and North America than the Game Cube did:

But according to the DFC it's going to make the biggest comeback in the history of gaming. 

*sigh* I just can't stand the fact that paid analysts use the PS2 slow start myth as a reason why the PS3 is going to pick up in sales.
