However there is no way the PS3 will outsell the 360/Wii the same way the PS2 outsold the Xbox/Gamecube. This generation is going to be much tighter (At least between Sony and Nintendo). Going by what's been happening in Japan the Nintendo Wii has 2 very shaky years ahead of it, it may start to get outsold by the PS3 and possibly even the 360 in weekly sales worldwide over the next 12 months and after that it may never regain it's stride. The Xbox 360 will most likely be the first console to see a successor and be discontinued from the market seeing as how Microsoft realise there's no way back for it. The PS3 will likely win this generation simply by outlasting the other 2 consoles - there's no way the Wii's popularity will keep it going for another 8 years.

I am not saying that the console will disappear, but if they do not get more consoles in circulation, then they will never get the chance to regain the status of dominance that they had during the PS2 era. As a PS3 owner, I would never want it to disappear, but the further it gets behind the Wii and Xbox 360, the longer and more difficult it will be for Sony to dig out of this hole. That was what I meant. I hope that clarifies things a bit. Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was the PS3's chances to regain control of the console market are numbered.

What kind of an idiot would even think something like that? Are you suggesting that unless a hardware price cut is implemented to the PS3 over the next quarter the PS3 will just mysteriously vanish from stores altogether??? The PS3 has the best exclusive games both out now and lined up for 2009, i hardly think it's an "Endangered species" right now. It's no secret a price cut would drastically improve PS3 sales but implying that the PS3 is going to die without one shows severe ignorance of the gaming industry.
