The Playstation 3 is currently in a definite third place in worldwide sales, although momentum seems to be building for the machine, at the cost of the Xbox 360. But how long will that momentum take to build to a sufficient level to take the Playstation 3 past the Xbox 360, and then potentially beyond the Wii too?
