Why won't Ps3:s AAA games sell like Xbox 360:s?

@Comrade Tovya: I actually did the same notions before launch on another forum too (not a gaming forum, so we had a civil objective discussion). With the difference that i didn't bet PS3 for the last place, although that was before E3 06 and the price announcement.
Frankly, PS3 is performing worse than i expected outside Europe (in Europe PS3 wasn't that much more expensive than PS2 at launch, in case someone didn't know) and i expected PS3 going down in price pretty quickly.

But, i don't believe Sony counted PS3 flopping as an option (it would do better without Wii being there). As from financial point of view, i don't think the strategy was that stupid, outside the huge risk Sony took.
At the moment, BD:s biggest problem isn't adoption rate itsel, but the rate in relation to what Sony promised to movie studios. PS3:s biggest problem at the moment then again is the BD.

 

I don't think they did either, I just think they were more focused on a Blu-ray victory than a console victory... hence the reason for Blu-ray's initial victory and their consoles probable far 3rd place finish.

Sony's next big obstacle is beating downloadable & streaming media, and that is a much bigger hurdle than HD DVD was.

It they fail with BD & their latest console, that doesn't look good at all.

I actually love Blu-ray myself, but for whatever reason, the average consumer doesn't see it as a big jump from SD DVD.
