Very good text, I only disagree with the beginning, the end and well everything between.

We will see in 08 if Sony is able to rise  PS3 sales significant beyond 360 sales. But it is just to early in 08 now.

Only one Big Titel, DMC4, is out and X-Mas isn't so long gone yet. 

DMC4 sales are very good WW and also in NA, can't see why you use it as and argument for the near death of   the playsationbrand.

08 ll be a interesting year in console war, don't predict is end in early February ;P 

its kinda funny i remember seeing these threads for the wii a few months ago

*Sigh*

I had a whole reply spelled out why this wouldn't happen, but obviously, you are trolling, as everyone in here knows that this will not happen, and you didn't even take the time to make sure your data was right.

DMC4 has sold more on the PS3.

This could get ugly.

Some things to remember...

1. All Nintendo does is Video Games, its in their best interest to stick it through no matter how grim things get. Sony has other much larger investments and while those can arguably support their gaming investments it also means they're not bound strictly to or committed entirely to the gaming industry and could just as easily decide its not worth the trouble to continue on with the possibility of a long term loss.

2. Nintendo, despite all their foolish mistakes in the past have always been sound and prudent business men, something Sony is struggling with in terms of such common sense, the PS3's launch and logistics being the case and point. This doesn't prove anything, but it shows Sony at least up until this point has lacked the basic skills which have allowed Nintendo to wait out the drout of such consoles as the N64 and GC.

3. With the Video Game industry having come as far as it has, its unlikely there will ever be another slip up like the PS3 to allow someone else back to the top where Nintendo now is. Nintendo has been the king and has been the pauper, they've learned much and have shown time and time again the ability to innovate in ways which their competition simply hasn't been able to match up until this point.

I don't think this generation will spell doom for Sony in Gaming, though the next generation may very well be the deciding factor.

"Besides, Nintendo said if they stop making hardware, they won't make software. So Nintendo will be the LAST to drop out if they ever do (but they won't)." How can you reach this conclusion? I'm confused. If they stop making consoles, y can't they continue to make games?

Noobie dont use fishtanks as crystalballs. Fortunetelling aint that easy.

Says the Sony fan, lol... "Noobie"... God its like being back in Internet High School.

Even if the PS3 doesn't beat the 360 by a lot. It's still outpacing the 360 despite the 360 beign out a year longer.

So at worst even if it doesn't outsell the 360 Lifetime by the end of the generation it will still be popular enough to where sony won't pull out or stop manufacturing it.

It will still sell (if trends continue) slightly more per year then the 360.  If Microsoft can keep with the 360.  Sony can keep up with the PS3. 

 'Noobie' is his name.
