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.

Fair enough.

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.

What are the total worldwide sales?

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.

Who told you that?

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.

Again, you are wrong. It's not to be scoffed at of course, but to say it was coming from behind due to any of those things you've said is wrong. The PS3 was already starting on top of a well-build fanbase and was always going to really pick up with the second wave of games.
To use it as a sign that it is going to 'win' outright over the 360, or that it is a better console overall is slightly blinkered.
