I'd like it to be the price and games option. But I'm a bit concerned about the PS brand and hoping the $1.9 Billion losses in 3 months was actually a planned investment.
PS3 sales on ebay were below retail at launch. No killer apps in 6 months. No exclusive heavy hitters until 2008, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear. Discontinued the cheaper 20gig model. Japan sales are embarassing. US sales are embarassing. The Wii sells more in one week in Japan then the PS3 does for a month in the US. Outsold by the GBA two months in a row. Blu-ray hasnt proven anything for games and hasnt 'taken off' yet as the next winning format. Sony just lost 2 billion dollars in the games department. I would say the PS3 gets a F easily.Carmilla31
Don't forget to add sales under 100000 a month in the US and under 10000 a week in Japan.
Imo, I do think that the PS brand is in trouble. With lackluster sales, loss of big money, and getting rid of the 20 GB model, I'm starting to worry.blizzvalve
psp and ps2 are still doing alright. just hope that when ps3 big games this year come out ppl will start buying ps3.  Â

You don't have to make things up. The PS3 never sold below retail at launch. I should know, I sold 2 of them for $1,500 each.Â

the only fact he said was that it was outsold, and lost 2 billion, everything else is opinion, PS3 has plenty of exclusives this year that could potentially be system sellers, and stop comparing a handheld that is dirtcheap to a freakin console that is $600 that is the most absurd thing ever, i can say the DS is killing the 360 with that same logic.Â

1 is false
7 are facts (2 of which can be debated, but if you dont think the sales are embarassing then you live in la-la land)
3 are opinions....
Like I said MOST of his post is fact...
I really hope you dont mean plenty, name these system sellers and we can have an intelligent debate. And yes right now the DS is destroying everything, that's why it gets the most support from various types of 3rd parties.Â

Youre entire list besides your 'great games' nonsense has absolutely nothing to do with gaming. Bluray? Bluetooth? Media storage devices? Are we talking about video games or cell phones and movies?Please Log In to post.
