In order or priority (Price cut would be highest):
- Advertise heavily-AAA exclusive gamesSony needs exclusive AAA games and they need to advertise them and shove them down people's throat, you wanna play the awesome Killzone 2, buy a PS3, want GT5, buy a PS3, you know stuff MS has done over the past 3 years.
-Slim modelThe slim model would also help a lot as the PS3 is so gigantic, a smaller model would be more attractive to the consumer. This would probably only come with a price drop though.
-Software Emulation BC for PS2 gamesBC for PS2 games would help a lot, I can't tell how many people have asked me if they can play PS2 games if they buy a PS3
-Make PSN betterPSN has made great strides and is a LOT better than before, but it still is behind Live, not only should Sony try to match Live on certain stuff (more movies, TV shows and games, cross game voice chat, chat and demo on pretty much every game, PS2 games on the store, etc) but they should try to do stuff that Live doesn't have like a Music store with MP3s and music videos for sale.
- More bundlesThe 360 has a great bundle every Holiday season, last year it was Forza 2 and Marvel UA, this year it's Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones, Sony has an Uncharted bundle which is cool, but they should've had a family bundle with LBP or Ratchet, a TDK Blu Ray bundle, a Resistance 2 bundle or something, just add more value to the box, so the customer will feel more likely to buy it.
Basically what we have now is the 360 is the cool videogame to own in NA (that belonged to the PS2) and the Wii has just expanded the videogame market (which is a great thing as shown by the amount of money in Nintendo's pocket, but Nintendo fanboys don't like that for some reason)
