I think you are throwing around a few common misconceptions there Vulgarism. Here's my take:

- PS2 didn't have a great launch lineup, just like the PS3 now. It's too early to judge these exclusives and also some of the supposed XBOX 360 exclusives are starting to go to the PS3. This recent trend however has nothing at all to do with the PS3 it is purely economics: it's expensive to make games so why stick to one platform? Take this for fact: neither the Wii, XBOX nor PS3 will have EVERY game everyone wants.

- I'd be curious to know what these PS3 problems are you have been referring to. My PS3 has been going strong for me and I bought it on launch day in Nagoya.

- And people breaking their noses is not Sony's fault, it is people's fault. Just in the same way that MacDonald's isn't responsible for people getting fat. If peope want to go crazy shooting each other and fighting just for a few bucks on ebay, that's only their fault.

- As for the availability in stores of the PS3 and Wii, there are a couple of factors to consider: the PS3 is twice as expensive and secondly they don't stay on those shelves for too long. Suddenly supply has been ramped up. Units sitting on a shelf is no sign of a failure otherwise every consumer product known to man (which somewhere in the world is sitting on a shelf) is a failure. Why must everything be another Tickle Me Elmo to be deemed success?

- And as for the PSP. It's sold eighteen million units (18,000,000) the most successful handheld outside of Nintendo. So that is considered a failure?

Think of this as well: Hyundai routinely outsells Ferrari's. Will this lead to Ferrari going bust?
