@Onyxmeth: I don't know about the marketing. Sony is pushing really hard, but the lack of exclusives (in multiplatform games 360 has the advantage due to its price, which means it makes no sense to advertize multiplatform games).
To me the "crappy marketing" seems more like Sony not understanding to who they are marketing the product. The thing that Sony did wrong, was that PSP was more targeted to home console owners and pricing PS3 out of the consumers range, to who they wanted to market the product. And as a side note, the gamers Sony had in the previous gens, grew up and out of Playstation, so the marketing that worked earlier, doesn't work in the same fashion to same people anymore.

You may well be right, but that fits into what I was saying. They are making games that will not sell extraordinarily well to their userbase and their marketing is off.

To everyone else talking about the PS3 audience being too diversified, then how come it doesn't affect multiplatform titles? They all seem to sell relatively in line with their 360 counterparts each time. It looks to me that both consoles have the same audience for the most part and it's more of Sony not pushing the right buttons with their customers to go out and buy first party titles.
