No, it is far to early to tell. The reason the ps3 is not doing good (in my opinion) is that it is a largely 'hardcore gamer' console. It just dosn't appeal (yet) to the average (mostly casual) gamer. If you are comparing it to the ps2, then yes it is a flop. Not because it sucks, but because it is a successor to a great system. If you look at the SNES and Genesis you see that the systems released after them were not well received as planned. But that is just my opinion. Hoped I helped.

Wasn't it game informer saying that PS3 doom and gloom is overblown, and that it could still come out on top? Whichever magazine said that I agree: the PS3 is far from dead.

Unless its creative writing or business eco. then I feel sorry for your GPA. Other than that: What people fail to realize is that Sony has a ton of brand name recognition and they are sitting on top of one of the largest back catalog of games. What is stopping them from pushing systems is a combination of price and games. Whether or not the PS3 could necessarily win has already been answered with a resounding no. Whether or not the PS3 is going to lose...........thats a whole nother ball game. If they were to dig up brand name loyalty, bring back some of their hit titles, and drop the price just slightly then they could easily make up for lost ground in no time.

The PS3 wasn't designed with gaming as the primary focus. The blu-ray player in the PS3 was designed and built by Sony and partner. Aswell as the Cell processor. The Cell was designed to be a CPU/GPU hybrid. The Cell can run the blu-ray player without the help of a GPU. Problem is that most game developers have reiterated time and time again that the Cell processor is garbage for making videogames. This leads the majority of people to realize that the PS3 is nothing more than a trojan horse for their in-house designed blu-ray player. This thought is brought on by the fact that if Sony can make blu-ray succeed, it will explode their HDTV, Sound equipment, and motion picture divisions.

No, it has not lost yet, since according to system wars the PS3 has no good games, so it selling 3 million+ at 600$ with no games is pretty amazing. I think the PS3 will beat the 360 in the end, but I'm not sure about the wii. It is still selling and if it was dead it wouldn't sell. Also it was only released in November and hasn't had a chance to get it's great games released.  If Blu-Ray does win, who knows by how much it will increase teh sales, but it will increase them significantly.

this is the wrong place to be looking for well thought out, intellectual commentary. IMHO, its too early. besides, after Halo 3, what do lemmings have to look forward too? with a possible price drop, and a bunch of good titles comming out in the near to mid future, i think the PS3 will end up on top again, its just not going ot be the landslide it was last gen.

You should write a very very short essay  dude cause it's simple.

There cannot be declaired a clear winner or loser this early in the competition. Simple.
The PS3, when compared to PS1 and PS2 is on a fine path.

And should also be noted just as an example that the VHS vs Beta war took over a year to decide a winner so being that the PS3 is a heavy push for Blu Ray, that factor alone shows there's no way they lost this early. Anyone who thinks they lost this early doesn't know a thing about business and should never run one....

Well first off, no matter how much you like games, that's a stupid topic.  My advice is, remember to use "an" before words that begin with vowels -- you didn't do that in your thread title.
