PS3 getting to 24 million is nice, but what's really nice for Sony is that the PS2 is that they're working on 150 million PS2s, and the console shows no signs of even getting outsold by the PS3 in a month anytime soon.
Before this console generation, Sony chased me off the bandwagon with their terrible price points and not seeming to care about innovation, while Nintendo gave us something cheap and innovative, and all about "It's about games, not graphics." So I got a Wii first. Wii isn't *all* shovelware, just mostly. Mario Galaxy is a superb game. Zack and Wiki is a great game. Most of the other games are eh... Granted I haven't yet played Mad World or a couple other high-profile Wii titles.
I did get a PS3 after they knocked $200 off the price, and for me it is a better system with better games. I still think Sony is way too prude with its prices and business model. The PSP Go for how much? When you can buy an original PSP for $100 less? Inexcusable. But "caring about the fans" aside, PS3 is a beautiful system. Uncharted and Valkyria Chronicles are probably my two favorite new franchises of the past five years.
