As many previous posts have already stated, SONY has been trying to introduce their own standards for years now - betamax, minidisk, the sony-only stereo systems, etc., etc. What makes the PS3 and Blu-Ray any different to those cases?
SONY has done dumb stuff and lost many battles in the past and they are still an incredibly strong company... I see no reason why they are ready to "self-destruct". In fact if SONY do manage to pull this off they will be in an incredibly strong position... if they don't then I'm sure they will just keep trucking on like they always have.
Also in New Zealand the Playstation consoles have massive support - i know people who work at games stores and all of them have been recommending customers not to buy 360's and to wait for the PS3 to come out - I'm sure their managers wouldn't be too happy about it but they do it anyway. As for Nintendo - gameboys still have a bit of support but the N64 wasn't that popular, and the gamecube was removed from most stores soon after its release because noone was buying it.
I do love Nintendo games and am glad to see Nintendo fighting hard, but my money is still on the PS3.
