Well, as I hope you know, ps3 was pretty expensive when it was released. Now, it is gaining more sales when they launched the slim.

PS3 did everything wrong when it came out, was the worst system to own. Plus the PS3 has been (and still is) playing catch-up and basically taking features here and there from the Wii/360. Took some time to become what it is now but now it's a formidable console at a great price with great games, basically it's what it should have been 3 years ago and this is why it's in third place: it did everything too late.

Its in last because the group the ps3 appeals to has least amount of people. The ps3 appeals to the super hardcore, the wii appeals to the casuals, and the 360 appeals to the one in the middle.

Why is it last place? Because the initial price was outrageous. It's still too expensive here in the UK. I assumed you meant sales wise.

The mass-market has decided that teh PS3 just isn't value for money.Pretty simple.

The miserble sales of the machine are proof.

Actually few people buy the ps3 just for blueray, its just a good plus. The most people that buy the ps3 are super hardcore players, finding a casual with a ps3 is like finding a good soccer player in Iowa :lol:

With that logic you'd think U2 would be at around the 5 Million mark, not just breaking the 1 Mil.

Last place in what? Sales? Library? Features? Need more detail please.

As has already been said, the high launch price has up until now limited PS3 sales. The launch library didn't help matters.

That's really odd. Isn't it behind the 360 by the same number since launch? So it's sold at the same rate as 360...Miserable sales? Hmmm....Do you work for MS? 'Cause that spin is making me dizzy.

That sig is irrelevant today, though I admit it was the reason the PS3 is having a hard time catching with the 360.

Buying the 250gb Slim now would probably be worth it, before it was just... not. And now good exclusives are finally being released, you'd actually be able to buy 10 or so decent PS3 games. Dumb dumb Sony and their worthless marketing team.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, when I said overall sales, I meant sales for the entire genration. Last time I heard, PS3 was behind by about 5 million.

Well Sony made a lot of silly mistakes when they started this gen, course now they have fully changed. Being last has made them much better, more humble and they really upped the exclusive count thanks largely to their inhouse studios. What's interesting is that despite releasing a year after the 360 the sales gap is still the same, still 6-7 million like it was in 2007. Now when you look at the PS2 year on year the gap between it and the Xbox increased but MS is having hard time increasing the gap between the 360 and PS3. All eyes on 2010, it's gonna be interesting.

Last I checked Sony just lost $5 billion while MS is profiting. MS 35th place on the fortune 500 list: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/snapshots/3063.html

Sony, however isn't even on the list...They aren't even on the top 1,000. (Here's the entire list, just in case I might be wrong, but I don't think I am) http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/full_list/index.html

So overall, I'd still say that MS wins.

High launch price and lack of significant games in it's early years are reasons why. Sony's E3 06 press conference alone dug themselves into a huge hole. It wasn't until MGS4 that the PS3 started getting good (Which is the same time period i bought my PS3).
