Disclaimer, flaming asstards: I own a PS3 and a Wii and i'd really like to see some return on both of those investments, so post your biased garbage elsewhere.
GamePro has posted
a few fun facts comparing the first ten months of the Gamecube to those of the PS3:
"According to the NPD, a firm that tracks North American hardware sales, the PS3 sold 1,742,000 units in its first 10 months of availability compared with 2,120,000 GameCube units."
Of course Kaz blames production issues, and downplays the importance of the cost factor in the system's performance. Money has nothing to do with a system's accessibility, right guys?!
I'm in the camp that believes it's too early to call shots like "who is going to win the current console war?," but the numbers are pretty clear: The PS3 is underperforming. Sony and Nintendo seem to be polar opposites of their last-gen selves this time around.

Of course, that's still a far cry from their success with the PS2. Polar opposites, indeed.
Nintendo has typically been the most humble and sticks to their own game plan instead of trying to keep up with everyone else's, and I think that's a strength for them whether it makes them #1 or not.
I personally think the price drop to $400 will help the PS3 a little, but that the 160 and the Wii will end up dominating. They offer more that the PS3 but cost less.
All the Blu-rays in the world can't change that.
