the stuff im reading as of late about ps3 is just senseless, just because one system isnt selling as much as other doesnt spell doom. So why are they trying to spinn things around and giving the false signal to the people who didnt decide which system to buy. I was just reading Yahoo's new article on this years consoles and boy are they bashing the ps3 to death, just wow. First they talk very little about how wii ousold both the x360 and ps3 but then went on a deadly rampage how x360 is the system to get over ps3, it was just downright laughable and painfull at the same time.

i just cant figure out why is the NA media helping MS to destroy sony's ps3.

because of our dieing economy, the media is working to support american companies and american manufacturers. its gonna help the economy if they keep buying american products. sony right now is easy to exploit and rip apart cause its in third place. but the articles and attention ps3 has been getting is just stupid, a lot of the stuff said does not make sense, or theyre complaints that lost their relevance in 2007. regardless of everything though, sony is still in a good position, and they are far from finished, its around this time where they are gonna start seeing profit.

I think that it might be largely due to a comparison of the PS2. Going from 1st place last gen to 3rd place this gen is quite a drop.

God I hate these conspiracy threads.

Fanboy says " Oh the world is out to get my console!"

Fanboy 2 says " I agree I think all the world's media has gathered together in a secret meeting to destroy our beloved console!"

Tell me what does CNN,WSJ, Yahoo or any others have to gain but seeking out to destroy Sony? They are just reporting the facts and the fact is Sony is sucking wind right now.

Actually not true, there is always a bandwagon the media likes to jump on and run with it and right now it's ps3/sony bashing even when it's not deserved or true, you are very naive to think otherwise, do you honestly think the media is all knowing truth of knowledge? they are far from it. Seriously the ps3 will drop to 300 and all of a sudden this negativity will be lifted off the ps3 when it starts selling really well, it's just all total **** and in this case the fanboys are right

people tend to dislike monopolies, the Sony with the PS2 was a near monopoly, now the media saw sony mess up and they are jumping on the hate wagon.

Remember most of 2007, when the PS3 was in much worse shape? The media gave it much more hate back then. Then it got a price cut, sales picked up and for much of 2008, the media turned on the Xbox 360. Then the 360 got a price cut and the media turned back on the PS3. In 6 months time when the PS3 gets a price cut or slimline model, the media will go back to saying the 360 is doomed, I guarantee it.

The Playstation brand has been dominant for so long and Sony have been very cocky with it. Of course they're going to get ripped apart when they release a lacklustre product.

It's the only console that's november sales dropped from last year, and it is by far the most expensive system in a bad economy. Of course it's going to catch flack.
