There's much more to the 360 than GeoW2. It's your opinion on the games available for both systems, and I respect that, but you do keep saying the PS3 has better games available which isn't the general case.

Like I have said before, the reason I went for the PS3 over the 360 is because of the exlcusives. MGS4, FFXIII, Little Big Planet, Heavy Rain amongst many others will only be playable on the PS3. I'm not saying the 360 doesn't have any great games because it does, but looking at it's exclusives list the only one that will persuade me to buy one is GeoW2, and possibly Splinter Cell: Conviction. And in the long term I will probably be able to pick these up for the PC.

Don't believe crap like the above. How is the 360 ever going to be considered a failure? The Original Xbox was considered a great success yet each unit sold LOST money for MS.
By failure I mean finishing in last place out of the Wii and PS3, which in a couple of years down the line it will be. It doesn't have Europe, it doesn't have Japan and it doesn't have Australia, the only market it has at the moment is America, and despite that in 2 of the last 3 months it has been outsold by the PS3.

Is the PS3 going to be considered a failure because it's been slaughtered in sales by the Wii? Is the Wii considered a failure because it's been slaughtered in sales by the DS? No.
PS3 and Wii aren't targeted at the same people though are they? And credit to the Wii, it has been a phenomenon, and coupled with the DS Nintendo must be absolutely rolling in it. Maintaining its success over a long period of time like Sony did with the PS1 and PS2 will be very difficult though.

The PS3 only now taking over the sales of the 360 doesn't mean much, since a great number of those people buying one probably also own a 360.
You're probably right, but with all the bad publicity it has had, it's high price point, its lack of AAA games, outselling the 360 in a major territory in such a short amount of time when the 360 had a 16 month head start is not to be scoffed at.
