The mood on the Ps3 forums is now very somber:

So sad, so true. I feel bad for parents when I see them standing in front of the game cases of Wii games. 90% of what theyre buying is total garbage. I guess sales in this gen are pretty much on par with how crappy the console is. Its definitly not an efficient market. People are horrible consumers. 

Wii , crappy games, crappy hardware, etc. = most sales. 
360, good games, decent hardware, etc = 2nd best sales.
ps3, good games, amazing hardware, etc = worst sales.

Sony starts dominating next year with a price drop, PS2 BC, and Killzone 2.

2008 was the year of the PS3. It had the best software lineup.

Just wait till the price cut comes, and KZ2 releases.
