No other consol was priced like the ps3 ( except 3do) i guess thats why its having a little trouble matching ps2's sales. and it doesn't look like sony is droping the price anytime soon. BUT...for a console that cost $400 and $500 its selling VERY good.

This kind of consolation rationale was pretty popular when the PS3 first launched, but as time goes on we're seeing less and less potential for the PS3 to pick up momentum, in fact as time passes more and more works against its favor. It's already one of the most obsolete Blu-Ray players on the market, its only saving grace is its price and that won't last for long either.

While everyone sings the praises of what Blu-Ray has done for gaming, it was this reckless implementation of it in its earliest form that has done the most damage to the PS3. While the PS3's Blu-Ray player reads at 2-4x speed other Blu-Ray players are already up to 14-16x speed. Mandatory file instalations wouldn't be are necessity for the PS3 had it featured a more advanced Blu-Ray drive, but unfortunately that wasn't a possibility so Sony had no choice but to force this unproven format prematurely on their next console dooming it not only as the next viable successor to the Playstation brand but its future utility of Blu-Ray in gaming. There is so much the Playstation 3 could have done with Blu-Ray but will never be able to due to its primitive early form of it.
