^Definitely food for thought (meant for vtec, I'm slow).

I think PS3 will become dominant after 2 or 3 more years (they definitely have some catching up to do in the States and Europe). The thing is, that I'm quite sure that Microsoft will release a next gen system before Sony, and I wouldn't be surprised if the gap between XBox "3" and PS4 will be larger than 360 and PS3.

The fact that PS2 outsold PS3 this past year shows that prices are a huge concern to the consumer. PS3 needs a price drop. While they do have a higher profit margin charging $399 vs. $199 (XBox), they aren't selling as many systems. Therefore they aren't selling as many games. Therefore game producers aren't making as much money.

As far as the "sequels on the same system is a mistake" argument, I say bah. PS3 fans are just saying this because all of the first round sequels have just recently been released to their systems so it's fresh in your head. GT 1 and 2 were both released on PS. And GT 3 and 4 were both released on PS2.
