Decent hardware sales (mainly for multimedia use) but poor software sales? Tie ratio of less than 1 still in Japan doesn't look promising Tie ratio just under 2 in Japan according to this site..... Well compare the PSP's entrance into the portable market to XBOX entry into the console market. I do not see how anyone can say the PSP is a major disappointment. Playstation 3 sales will be slow until May or June where we see a major price cut and sales take off. Remember, the PS3 in NA is ahead of the PS2 thus far. To say that the system is dead is a rediculous comment.
PS3 isn't dead all depends the money that Sony can allow to lose: 1-PS3 is the more expensive console of this generation. Launch price Saturn in US: 399$ (six months later...) Launch price PS1 in US: 299$ ----------------------------------- Launch price PS2 un US: 299$ (one year later) Launch price Gamecube:199$ Launch price Xbox1: 299$ ----------------------------------- Launch Price Xbox 360 (basic system) 299$ (one year later...) Launch price PS3 (basic system) 499$ Launch price Wii 250$ 2-Blu-Ray isn't a suffice 'adds value', reason: Note Gamecube, this system CANNOT read DVD movies and it sells the same units than Xbox1 around the world. 3-Multiplataform titles: According whit this site, Sony is lossing the domiation of software sales whit PS2 (compare PS between PS2). Now the big question is if some people both PS3 and Xbox 360... ¿From which system buy the multiplataform game?, ej:GTA4, EA games, etc..., because the games sems that have the same price. I think that the big bussines now depend of the third partyes (unfortunately for Wii)
