It depends on nintendo's lineup of games, how much the new consoles costs, and what games they will get.

The title is true though.

Exactly. PS3 is just now beginning to hit it's stride. It was very much a late bloomer, and sales in the west, particularly Europe, as well as some emerging markets, seem to be giving PS3 a second life after US and Japanese sales have begun to cool off.

PS3 might very well be the first Sony console to actually justify the "ten-year lifecycle" slogan.

Just hitting its stride. What the hell does that mean?

it is in a steep decline. It hit its stride in 2009/10 and 11.

it sold 14m in 2011, be lucky to sell 9m this year.

And first console to justify 10 year plan? The 360 sold 2.5m more in its 7th year on sales than the PS3 did.

Read: bolded text.

And I wasn't referring to system sales in regards to the ten year lifecycle, I was more alluding to the new IP's that have yet to be released, which is fairly unprecendented for a seven year-old platform.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

Sony typically experiences less of a boost from the holidays than Microsoft or Nintendo. The 360 might hurt the 720 more, especially if they do drop the price. The Wii will still be a favorite for parents with small kids, as well.

Also, the PS2 did pretty well with an expanded life-cycle.

Edit: Careful about saying something positive regarding the PS3's sales. We kind of have a Hall Monitor for that.
