well considering its selling considerably faster than the ps2 did, it is just 2nd and 3rd place sales are also higher.

Who knows.  It might still.

I mean the PS2 had a consistantly high market share because it had a head start on all the competition that didn't go bankrupt.

As the console sales fall away it might turn out that the expanded audience is bigger then those sticking with the PS360.

You'd think so with how so many people are complaining "The casuals are taking over" etc.
