"fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me"
for the second time sony has let the PS3s price tag bring it down it didnt respond to 360s price drop ,and yet again gets dropped kicked in the face, my hat goes off to microsoft they played there cards well and finaly made me realize , that the 360 is where harcore gamers should be , because in the end its all about the games , and we shouldnt bitch about features that no one realy gives a ratsass about !
as a semi hardcoe gamer you still have my love Sony but 1st thing sunday im buying a new 360 !

It's called having a shitty installed base. 1/4 of the current installed base actually pushes units and thats not enough, because those are only the top tier games. Why don't people listen when I say that the PS3 installed base has a neglectful portion of non gamers who only bought it because its a cheap Blu Ray player? Sony shot themselves in the foot selling to two different markets, because it lowered expectancies for game sales without them knowing it. They knew they were taking a risk in losing money, but didn't know that so many people who were non gamers would buy the PS3. Tsk....dumbasses.

You know what a non-gamer is, yes?
I doubt any of them bought the PS3. The people who buy it are probably going to be in the age range for games. It is these people who also perchase the system for Blu-Ray. The system is a black product (as appose to a light product like the Wii is trying to be). The dark products are for higher tier consumers. It would be strange for someone to want Blu-Ray, but not games. The possibilities seem too low. Non-gamers, typically, wont buy something if it is too expensive which the PS3 is.

Non-Gamer=Someone who doesn't play videogames. Go to Best Buy.com and look up Blu Ray players under the most affordable prices. You'll find the PS3 there. It's not strange for someone to want Blu Ray and not games if you look at the installed base and actual sales. The PS3's existence saved Blu Ray from a pointless existence, because Blu Ray and HD DVD were dead in the water.
As for the bold in your statement: The PS3 was considered a cheap Blu Ray player. Now that the PS3 has sold some millions, they dropped the price of Blu Ray because they duped gamers into buying a system with a Blu Ray player in it and that forced Blu Ray sales through the roof defeating HD-DVD. Microsoft tried to help HD-DVD, but it was all for nothing because of the fact that HD-DVD wasn't put in from the beginning and they had to create a $200 port. If the 360 would've come out with HD-DVD, they would've started out at the same price as the PS3 did. Microsoft gave people the OPTION as to whether their gamers wanted the DVD upgrade or not. HD-DVD flopped because 360 owners didn't support it. Case closed.
