Well as ridiculous as it is right now I have all 6 systems (PS-3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP, and PC) especially given than I am disabled. I'll probably never have it this "good" again.
I have no vested interest in the success or failure of any one system this round of the war, that says the PS-3 is a potentially more powerful system than the 360, it's just hard to program for, and as such doesn't have much coming out for it yet.
I think Sony is banking on the idea that the 360 will maxx out first, and since there will already be a partial PS-3 infrastructure people will pick up the PS-3 instead of going with whatever new console Microsoft decides to launch. I'm not sure if this will happen (sounds hokey) but it's their strategy, and I can't see it playing out that way this year.
Also it's possible that we're only seeing part of the equasion and they are dealing primarily with figures from the Japanese market. In absolute terms neither system is a failure as they are both profitable.
My big problem with the PS-3 is that I sold my PS-2, and I need to use the older 60GB version to play both PS-2 and PS-3 games. If my PS-3 croaks I'm just as likely to go buy a PS-2 to replace it as a non-backwards compadible PS-3 because I STILL play PS-2 games and honestly there are more of those that I like in my sizable collection than there are dedicated PS-3 games.
At any rate the PS-3 DOES still have a bit of an advantage on the RPG front. The 360 had Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect, and a bunch of "failures" like Infinate Undiscovery, Last Remnant, etc.. The PS-3 still has the PS-2 RPGs behind it (well for those with backwards compadible systems) like Persona 4, as well as Disgaea 3 and the upcoming Cross Edge.
Microsoft neglected the RPG front the first time around and it hurt them, and truthfully while they are trying this round, they haven't been extremely successful. Pretty much their big hope on the RPG front is going to be Masss Effect 2 due out at the end of this year.

How does that fable go?
A farmer discovered a Mule that had fallen down a well.
With no obvious way to rescue it,
the farmer decided to fill in the hole, with the Mule still trapped.
The farmer began pouring sand into the hole, ontop of the panicking mule.
However to his suprise, the Mule shook off the sand and climbed ontop of the sand pile
This continued until the mule was finally free from the hole.
The Morale? You decide.

I think it's possible. The longer the next gen wars last the more so they lean in sonys favor.Ps3 has the hardware to way outlive the xbox. They're def banking on this. And really to me at least it seems u hear alot more negative things about the 360 then ps3 mechancially speaking. even lives reputaion is going down the shitter. It looks like Blu-ray isn't going anywhere soon. So arguably the ps3 is the machine for the next few years. Sony's praying that the 360 simply caps out and brawn wins in the end. I dunno. I have nuthin against the 360 or anythign but they're pretty hush hush about any gaems for this year, while sony is about ready to flex their muscles and show off what the little black ***** can do.
