The PS3 might not be able to overtake the 360

You know what I think? Sony doesn't have to make a comeback for second place. Instead they should just do what Nintendo did with the GC: sell console for a profit!
Cutting the price and losing money in this generation is not worth it!
Sony made a choice to make a console that would best the other spec-wise, but that comes obviously with a high price tag on it and ther is not much you can do with that. The Cell chip, with its billion cost for development, and the Blu-Ray with its high manufacture cost are those two choices that cut the legs of the PS3.

This.

Sony is in no position to gamble right now, and that's what any play for second place involves - a gamble. Sony's best bet is to look for the highest possible profit at the lowest possible risk so they have the capital to come out swinging next gen.

 

 

Exactly my point!

 

this is just a battle, and who win this won't necessarely win the whole war (whatever war this is!)!! So this time is better to capitalize and then strike back, since Sony has a chanche to come out with a PS4 that won't need any new technology!

The only thing they need is to slap like 4 to 8 Cell (maybe made in a 22nm process) chip in a box to make the new console and an nVidia/Ati gpu! They already have, also, a disc storage device, the Blu-Ray, which might even improve!

So, for me Sony has to focus on the long run, like it was a marathon, and not in the short period!
