I don't want to direct any comments at any particular person here but for one, cut newer people some slack here...
while most people do back up their predictions with data, I really don't feel someone should have to back up any and all comments he makes on game sales. Some people are just expressing their own opinion... they may end up being wrong, very wrong... who knows? But in the end isn't it opinions that count, the opinion of each and every person who is deciding what game to buy? Wouldn't some guy and his friends wanting the game, be a small indication of the games possible success?
And wouldn't positive and raving reviews of a game be a better indication of a successful game than bad reviews.
Yes, the PS3 has basically been in a sales slump from the start, but yes the spring is always slow too. I think that there is still some pretty good interest in the PS3 out there, people know it has more power and has more stuff, but really don't like the price. Sony and Playstation are strong brand names, don't count them out yet. Some good games/extras vs. 360 is what would help too. (i.e. rumors of GTAIV fitting on a bluray but having problems fitting on to a dvd possibly losing on some content) The PS3 needs to strut it's stuff... uh.. like the newest soccer game coming out is going to have high texture quality on PS3 vs 360 because of the space on the disc.
