nothing is hurting the ps3 except the people who write articles as such as sales prove it. Yes, ps3 is in the last place right now and to dense consumers, they think this is it for them but in reality a system that costs so damn much is doin relatively well for itself. It is outpacing 360's past reccords with a higher price and less exclusives. You g2a take some risks to meet its rewards. That's the first lesson in a business class. That is what they are doing right now. Keeping it high and still outselling or matching the xbox 360 without any price cuts. 1. The price will obviously and eventually go down and u'll see those 100 million ps2 users jump on the opportunity and 2. with a 10 year plan what are they suppose to do? follow microsoft and give everything they got in its 3rd year in the life cycle. Where else can microsoft go with its price without losing money and 3. the wii will soon stop selling well. And 4. the only company with options of price cuts and such to gain momentum will be sony. my mistake this is sony's second year in its lifecycle and already all the hate 8 more years to go and you cud bet ur loved ones this company will make this system a success.

Lol you are funny.

1.  I think many of those 100 million you refer to are jumping to Wii and 360.  The mistake Sony made two or three years ago is the mistake you are making now.  Sony assumed everyone who bought a PS2 would just rush out and buy a PS3 because the brand name Playstation is the most powerful brand in the history of mankind.  Two years later they have come to realise that brand name can only take you so far.  You on the other hand have failed to realise this.  Keep on hoping.  I wouldn't want to be the one to crush your hopes and dreams.

2.  There is no 10 year plan.  It only exist in the head of Sony fanboys.

3.  I can't believe that 30 million plus consoles sold and sales accelerating rather than decelarating and we still have people who think (or rather hope) that for some unknown reason Wii will suddenly stop selling.  It was meant to happen after a few months.  It did not.  It was meant to happen after a year when the fad died.  It did not.  It was meant to happen when it reached Gamecube sales because the only people buying it were Nintendo fans.  It did not.  It was meant to happen when GTAIV came out.  It did not.  What do you think is going to cause it to happen now?

 4.  This might be the biggest lol of them all.  Wii came out being sold at a profit.  Phenomenal sales means manufacturing costs have dropped so now it is being sold at bigger profits.  It launched at $250 and is still being sold at $250. PS3 came out at $600 and is being sold at $400.  It has had bundles galore and a $200 reduction.  Nintendo can still introduce bundles, it can release coloured Wiis and most importantly it can cut the price by a significant amount.  It doesn't need to do these things but it can if it needs to.  To suggest only Sony has options left is hilarious.
