I´ll get flamed for this, but while I want Sony to stay in business and keep competition going,I must say I find the PS3 taking this beating and still being more than 6 million behind the 360, is a 'good' thing.

Good thing as in...personally, I didn´t like the whole modus operandi/marketing/E3 2006/taking customers for granted, etc.. approach Sony has had with the PS3 even before E3 2006.

So, I think the poor sales (compared to the competition), IMO, are justified and will hopefully make Sony open their "PS1 guide to success" book again, next generation...the book they completely forgot when giving birth to the PS3.

They strayed too far away from what made The PS brand a gaming juggernaut from 1996-2005.

Totally agree.

PS3 is paying for Sony's arrogance at expecting people to pay $600 due to brand loyalty.  Not putting customers first deserves poor sales.  PS3 will sell well at the sub $300 price level.

This generation taught Sony two important things.  1) Price matters.  2)  For the vast majority of consumers, there is no brand loyalty.  I hope Sony learned their lesson for the PS4.
