Yes alot of good thing have happened while you was gone, FF XIII really helped out PS3 this year, along with PS3 Slim, so much for the PS3 will fail theory, how many times does the media get proven wrong lol
On a second not PS3 will keep on going strong this year as we have GT5, GOW III, MAG(50/50 success??), Heavy Rain!!, WKC, SO4, and that is just the beginning lol.
Finally PS3 should not drop below 200k per week and that lovely gap between X360 and PS3 will be reduced very quickly, PS3 has a chance to overtake it by late 2010 or early 2011.
