If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

It was a good year to PS3, just holiday sales were shit. Like I said at the beginning of December, "is like PS3 hasn't entered the holidays". Damn the recession and cheap X360s.

Even though that ps3 may never catch the wii. It will be close to the 360 weather it surpasses it or not. If the 360 gets 58 million lifetime but the ps3 get 49 million or vise versa it is still great performance. The ps3 is here to stay no matter what people think. Look at the gamcube 21 million in 5 1/2 years is bad but I loved the cube and there where great games just not as many games as xbox and ps2

Still its good to see that the PS3’s sales have gone up even though it had a not so good Christmas.

Unless Halo 9 is already in the dev stages, 360 will never hit + 50 million.

And when it hits 40 million in Q4 09 or Q1 10?  Will you still hold that same opinion?
