First of all, I own an Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3, and PS3 is my favorite. This, though, is not because of the games which are out for it right now. In fact, I only own one PS3 game (VF5) due to the hits my wallet takes from consistently buying games for multiple consoles. Although the PS3 has many promising titles on the horizon, a relatively small amount of people are actually going to be able to play them and put cash in Sony's pocket. The article I posted was meant to outline how Sony may be able to drive PS3 sales now. Not 10 years from now. For all of the posters above who stated something along the lines of "Sony is in it for the long haul", that is somewhat foolish. If Sony does not start realizing that Blu-ray disc and a $600 game console are not going to be universally embraced for at least a few more years, they will most likely just be breaking even financially with PS3 by 2017. That is, of course, if developers have not lost interest in the PS3 by then, as so much more money is to be made by developing for the 360 and Wii, which both have nearly 5 times as many owners as PS3. Sony may know their course of action, but if they expect countless possible buyers to wait a year or two to justify a PS3 purchase, they are doomed, especially when cheaper, arguably equal experiences are offered by their rivals right now. It is the people who blindly support the PS3 that cause Sony to believe they can do no wrong. Well, reality check, shoving a $600 console and a few $60 games into a gamers mouth is definitely not a reputable course of action. In fact, it's a little greedy.
