That's true. But just because the PS3 didn't sell for a couple of years after coming out doesn't mean that people loyal to the Sony brand suddenly thought it was shit. Correct me if I'm wrong but in those 2 (or was it three years) it was all Wii and handhelds. Seems to me that there were a lot of people (those who are now buying the machine in droves) who were just waiting for the price to come down and the library to fill out. I think the fact that the 360 didn't go anywhere even in such an advantageous position is evidence of this. Not to mention the Wii pretty much going down the toilet.
