The humerous part about that Future Proof comment is that time and time again Sony executives have said that the future is digital downloads.  So, they really outta choose which it is.

Dont look good for Sony right now. But in all fairness, the PS3 aint out yet where the xbox is, and has tons of games to search on as well so maybe the same graph next year may paint a different picture?

I have no doubt that the PS3 will sell, and im sure it will outsell the 360, its just nice that for a small window Sony isnt leading :P

I will say that if sony does not bump production up people will get fed up of waiting for a PS3 and pick a xbox 360 instead.
