Playstation is backed baby. There is no competiton.
The comp is more likely between the new nintendo and the 360. P3 in a league by itself.
Nintedo to by the way still has a huge following, mainly with the kiddies but a huge following nontheless.

If MS wanted to, it could buyout EA Games tomorrow. That one move alone would have a serious impact and/or deathblow for Sony considering the EA fan base and exclusive agreements with Sports franchises, etc.
Plus, XBOX is moving into the Games On Demand direction very swiftly, they're positioning themselves right. PS is a juggernaut with a loyal cult-like following and will definitely remain the leader... but it'll be close... and it DOES make a difference when they choose to launch the PS3... they can't wait too long for the 360 to get a foothold in the average/new gamers living-room/media-center. The hardcore gamers will buy all consoles, the new crop will only need one box to be their "entertainment on demand" console.
Plus when the Halo movies comes out, there'll be a whole new crop of gamers buying the Halo 1,2,3 trilogy gamepack... and they'll be buying 360's to play them. Halo is the killer app for XBOX and if they do re-master Halo 1 and/or 2 for hardcore fans and make it playable on XBOX Live via 360 (either 16 or 32 players) they could bring in another 50-100,000,000 in sales on that re-release alone.
Right now, MS is it's own worst enemy, with Sony close behind. If MS can't fill all the pre-orders, holiday orders, etc, they'll be killing the 360's launch momentum.
