You don't understand that games have very little impact on sales. The price and the target market are the key to have good sales, see what X360 and Wii did. The only way Sony could increase its sales is a price cut, GT or GoW won't do anything but a 1 week boost in hardware.

This is very true, I'm a hardcore gamer, I only know of one other in my area. Everybody else I know who has a 360 only buy the softcore family games, and they brought a 360 or Wii for it. None of them has even heard about Killzone and most don't care. These hardcore games are great for the beginning of a consoles life, but can't be counted on to boost hardware sales after the initial rush. Only a price cut and some family friendly games can do that.
They feel the same amount of fun or more can be had with less expensive hardware. One thing Microsoft did right this gen was make powerful scalable hardware that can go down in price faster then their competition. This huge holiday jolt in sales is only going to make things better for them because they will continue to make games for a more diverse demographic.
