In the long run, obviously sales wise PS3 will be on top. Why? The 360 only has appeal in 50% of the world market, noteably the Americas. And in the Americas it is unable to take majority share, which only allows it to get small market share in the world. Secondly PS3 sales right now in Europe/Other, Japan, and their 3rd place sales in America, is enough to outsell the 360 in America and its pathetic sales everywhere else.
Right now as the Wii continues to push 360 further back in all 3 markets, PS3 at least still has a stake in Europe/Other and Japan, and can only go up in America as 360 falters. As much as Xbots would love to believe that taking America means taking the generation, this is false if you can’t actually take america with 100% dominance, which obviously isn’t happening.
IN response to P. Moore, if you think the PS3 will last for 10 yrs, then you are an idiot, as PS3 would have to not only win this generation, but win by domination like the Ps2 and Ps1. It is physicaly impossible for PS3 to win in the same dominant form as the PS1 and PS2. Meaning Sony will have to be competitive when the 8th generation starts, which’ll most likely start in late 2010 or somewhere in 2011. PS4 will have to release at the latest 2012, which will phase out the PS3, especially if its not in first place, which is the most likely scenario.
