At the beginning of 2010 the Wii will have a 30 Million unit lead on the PS3 and will be outselling it worldwide on a monthly basis, and there is little reason to believe that the PS3 will be able to overtake the sales of the Wii by a wide margin in 2010; so it is safe to assume that the Wii will have at least a 30 Million unit lead on the PS3 at the end of 2010.

Now, regardless of what console manufacturers claim, it isn't realistic to expect these consoles to have not been replaced by their manufacturers much past 2012; and it is not realistic to expect much in the way of sales from any of these consoles much past 2013. This gives the PS3 (at best) 3 years of sales to make up for a 30 million unit lead when the PS3 has averaged less than 10 Million units sold per year since it launched.

Basically, even if Nintendo stopped selling the Wii at the end of 2010 and Sony was able to sustain sales of the PS3 through 2013 the PS3 still couldn't pass the Wii in lifetime sales.

I think that it is possible that the PS3 could achieve sustained sales above the Wii if Nintendo releases a new system in 2011; but the PS3 would never be able to have the kind of sales dominance over the Wii that the Wii had over the PS3, and the beginning of a new generation would soon end the lives of all three consoles. When you combine this all together, the PS3 is never going to catch the Wii and probably doomed to be third for the rest of the generation.

Seriously, some high posters are saying Wii/Xbox360 lineup is better than Ps3?I thought you would lose that fanboy ribbon when you post around 1000.
Well maybe it has for your own taste but you must be dreaming to make others to think same.
Its basicly 15 Ps3 titles vs 1-3 xbox 360/Wii titles.

Probably not until the PS3 drops in price again, but that could be 2 or more years from now.

Not in the biggest fanboy's wildest dreams.

Ah, but good games, that's a matter of personal preference and taste. Personally, I couldn't care less about games like FF13, GT5 and God of War.

Give me Galaxy 2, Endless Ocean, Metroid or Zelda over any of those anyday.

If *you* think PS3 has a better lineup next year than Wii or 360, fine, good for you, so be it, but don't criticize others for not agreeing with you and calling the PS3 the best thing since sliced bread.

Pratice what you preach man, *you* are the one trying to make others think the same as you, saying PS3's lineup is the best. Now who's a fanboy? :s

1-3 wii/360 titles! I could name a lot plus wiiware games, I think 360 has about 7 stunning games in 2010.

I think wii sales will be safely around 66 million by June or could be more.

Neither of those facts has anything to do with a "superior" software library, as asinine as that idea is.

As to the OP: I'm not going to call it impossible, but I will call it so unlikely that it is effectively impossible.

I was just showing how it matters quite a lot to quite a few people.
