I don't see MUCH momentum in PS3 sales even after the price cut

In all honesty, there are a handful of reasons people (including myself) tend to respond that way. There's one reason in particular that stands out.

Sony got, let's be honest, cocky.

The PlayStation 2 succeeded to an unheard-of degree. It was an amazing system, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar, a fool, or both. But when the PlayStation 3 was being produced, statements that made gamers cringe, like "$599.99", "will sell 6 million, even if there are no games", "may actually be too cheap", and "want players to work to earn this console" suddenly began springing up. Who is Sony to tell people how to enjoy themselves? How could they possibly be so bold as to suggest we were such sheep that we would buy into the PlayStation brand if there was nothing to use it with? This put a bad taste in the mouths of gamers everywhere.

I consider myself a generally level-headed gamer. I was originally interested in the PS3. The price was the first thing to turn me off, I don't have that kind of money to spend. But once I started hearing these... THINGS falling out of their mouths, I honestly can't see myself buying one, out of spite.
