I'm not gonna lie, I thought there was a point in time where the PS3 was going to die, go the way of the Dreamcast. It had a rough start, didn't have a good library of games for the first year and a half, cost $600 dollars.... Even now, they failed to capture the children / soccer mom audience with the Move, so their focus is now on traditional "core" games, which happen to be my favorite types of games, but that's not where the pot of gold is located.
Basically, the steep price of the PS3 early on and the lack of casual appeal later on would lead me to believe that the PS3 should be getting crushed in sales, but read it for yourself.

Playstation 3 sales is pointless when it is not even earning profit for the first 2-3 years.
You have to pay for online on xbox 360 and its free on PS3. Yet there are still more XBOX 360 sales. Just shows how great the XBOX 360 is to people.
