Now, the PSP is being crushed by the DS, 360 games are graphically on the same level as PS3 titles, and you're console is sitting dead last in sales - with media pundits tearing it to shreds and consumers not willing to bite.
So Cows... once more...
have you been humbled?

Perhaps I am not the right person to respond since I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy, although I usually do only stick to one console per generation. The simple reason: time and money. I don't feel like spending money on all 3 consoles when one can already fully occupy the little free time I have left for gaming.
I know some might point out the paradox that I chose the most expensive of all three systems, but it also seems like the most promising one to me.
Aye, it ain't selling that hot right now compared to the Wii. But taking the steep price tag into account and comparing it with how well the 360 did untill this point after its release, suddenly things don't look THAT bad anymore. So the Wii is crushing everything right now and the 360 had a one year headstart. No wonder the PS3 is at the last spot as of now.
You mentioned that the graphical capabilities of the PS3 and 360 are nearly identical, and that this is a blow to the Playstation. Well, Last Gen, the PS2 had probably the worst graphics of the generation, but that didn't hinder its success. Of course all the fanboys keep talking about the graphics, and sure I do my part in commenting upon it as well, but only when I feel people are being unfair in comparisions.Â
Anyways, to answer your question: The whole console war thing leaves me cold. I chose to buy a PS2 because the titles coming out for it interested me the most. I didn't own a PS1, so I didn't pick the PS2 out of brand loyalty or because it was the cool thing to do (the console was bashed to bits back then). I picked the PS3 because I think it's the best fit for me.
The Wii is outselling everything? Alright, but since I personally don't have much interest in that console it doesn't really bother me that much.
I'd say we come back in two years again to talk about how well each console is selling. The Wii might continue to dominate or end up as a short-lived fad, the PS3 might drop in price and actually have some great games to offer and the 360 could pick up even more steam in the future.Â
Right now, the Wii is leading the race, but it's not finished yet. ;)Â
