The PS3 numbers aren't the worst news for Sony. The really bad part is that both PSP and PS2 sales are way down. Those are products that shouldn't be affected by the economy.

They're also the cash cows of the gaming division.

Its done well while it lasted - but the PS2 is now officially dead (in US anyway). I think the increased availability of the Wii, combined with the regular 'gaming' releases on the 360/PS3 has finally killed it off.

If December is anything like Nov (and with most of the big releases out of the way, why wouldn't it) - its going to be a really, really bad qrt for Sony.

Last year, the lack of supply of the Wii to market badly skewed the results - things are now to the way they would have been, if there wasn't supply issues.
