This may not be the thread for it, but that is a very misinformed statement. Thats not how console generations work. Generally in this industry, success breeds success, failure or mediocre achievement does not breed success.
The PS3 is way higher specced and ahead of its time than the original Playstation (and PS2) was for its time of release and thus more highly priced (twice as highly priced for the US at launch than the PSX). Despite this the PS3 sold about triple the amount by the end of fiscal year 2007 than Sony sold Playstations by the 31th of March 1996.
What you call to be a mediocre performance is a much better performance than your much praised 360 did at a much lower entry pricing and nearly all big sequels already out on the market and a complete lack of support for the original XBox (compared to the still alive and supported PS2).
I feel confident to say your precious 360 will end up being a distant third for this generation. We'll see who's right and who's wrong when Final Fantasy XIII and a slimline PS3 launches.
