No its not, when you have a competitor, that started loosing market share to the PS3, they cut the price to extreemly cheap proportions, the 360 is $199, and in europe in some places its as cheap if not cheaper than the "DS"(which is $129.99 in the U.S for comparison), compared to a $399.99 console, and extreemly more expensive in both japan, and europe, you wouldnt expect the PS3 to outsell something that is beyond cheap.. add to that we are in a recession, you think people have the $$$$ to waste 400-500 dollars on a video game console?
There are several other factors that add to the lowered demand for the PS3, but arent as major as the PRICE. But I will say one anyway, the Media has destroyed the playstation brand. Its recognition is damaged beyond repair, every video game site its an attack after an attack, go to youtube, if you would dare, you can find TONS of ps3 "sucks" videos, there are 360/wii ones as well, but are a minority compared to the amount of attacks seen agains the ps3 and sony. Remember the "Skinny girl vs Fat girl" comparison? Who do you think made that ad? Btw.. Im not going to make a huge argument, Im sure you will all just say "But your a fanboy, but this, but that," when its true, the media HATES the console, its hurt the brand, the Price is extreemly high, and Microsoft continuesly takes system sellers from the PS3, and continues to drop the 360's price, so that sony has no chance to outsell the competitor.
