The PS3 is not the N64 in a lot of aspects (mainly in those that changed due to constantly evolving technology), but in a way their scenarios are beginning to look familiar. Why? Because the PS3 has to fight against an already stablished same generation console, but has a powerful weapon: it has a very powerful brand that is gonna be very tough to destroy. That same situation happened to Nintendo at the time. They were the one to beat, so is Sony right now. Its games are more expensive to produce, so is the hardware that is in theory more powerful (CPU-wise). They're using a format (Blu-ray) that is more expensive to produce and less user-friendly at the end. Blu-ray and all this HD definition is a weird thing to talk about for the vast majority of the market... I believe Sony is doomed in that sense. But that is only a feeling, not a fact based on objective reasons. I tend to believe this cause it seems MS has scheduled all its future releases to reduce PS3's impact with his Japanese old school hits. By the way, doomed means for me they're not going to be nº1 this generation. They will learn the lesson though.
