This question has been asked and aswered 10 billion times but I will do it once more.
The ps3 needs to secure more 3rd party exclusives even if it is timed for let's say 6 months. They need to standardize things like keyboard and mouse functions for games that play better with them like FPS games and Strategy games. They need to continue to make development cheaper and easier for developers to use. They need to add in game functions to the online structure and pretty much have everything that 360 has and then top that. They need to advertise more on what games they have already and what they have coming. They need to make the ps3 in general cheaper still, even though it has dropped dramatically, it still is the most expensive one out there. Since the fanbase is growing and people still want to play ps2 games on their ps3, it would be nice to atleast get the price down to $450, even better if they could get the 40 gig down to original ps2 price tag $300 and the 80 gig down to $400.
Right now they are neck and neck with 360 in terms of sales. As far as taking the Wii that would be another challenge. They would just need to somehow come out with a slew of games and advertise like crazy to overtake it, and come out with a lot of Japanese games to get back into the JP Market. The only other way is for everyone to own a wii and then decide to go for the PS3. Sony pretty much already screwed themselves for the number 1 spot this generation. If Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, and White Knight Chronicles are screw ups then they can kiss goodbye the number 2 spot.
They have it good now because they have a good number of games out and now that the price is lower people can finally play these games that they are interested in, but the system was too expensive. If 08 holiday season rolls around and all 5 big games are only"good" or are pieces of crap then people will not care what else sony has on the system.
