Please, right now, before you start listing the OMFG SHT UP YOU SHEEP/LEMMING, or with giant lists of games coming even to Wii please read.
Right now Wii has sold roughly 4 million units, in, say... a month, while PS3 hardly reaches half of this sales. I know that Wii is half as cheap, but those arguments only count on chocolates or things like that, when someone ACTUALLY buys the same product twice or thrice, and is pretty normal, so this logic does not apply.
On america there have been reports of PS3`s in stock just waiting to be taken, while Wii's are still hard to find. During last holidays, Wii was one of the hottest items, while PS3 was... well. PS3 was for sale.
Europe hasn't had PS3 news since the last delay... so, here is no much to argue (don't come with delay= hype, because it is not true Delay=p1$$3d consumers).
Japan, was, from last thing I heard at 1PS3 for each Wii. Let's be fair and say that Wii stopped selling like crazy. Still it would be 3 to 1 or, even 2-1, which in sales is too much.
As for their games, most of them are in this category:
"They are great games, but not worth the 600 bucks I invested"
Wii is not the only console on the market. I was not forgetting 360.
360 has the superb wonder of being a console with a target market EXTREMELY SIMILAR (if not equal...). And guess what. It, though is not the best selling console ever, is selling steady and nice, which leads only to one outcome. 360 is taking their audience in the right way, and in the process, taking audience AWAY from PS.
One of PS3's biggest troubles is that many of the games in their library are either on 360 (some even on Wii), or will be launched ALSO on 360, which happens to be more time in market, and is cheaper, AND with a great online proved system.
Even inside the company, there are grim faces. There have been several with major changes from representatives and chairmen INSIDE SCEA. Guess why? YES it is because plans failed and development hasn't been as planned. Success is far from their expectatives.
Yes. There are nice games coming to PS3. MGS4, FFXIII and Heavenly Sword, but, Those are 3 the only 4 games that surely rock. The rest have been either flops or dissapointments. Just Gengi and Motorstorm.
All this is a grim view. How can PS3 make a comeback?? My best guess is it can`t???
