Now is not a good time for slowing PS3 sales.
Several of the big developers are looking at cut backs due to recent losses. With PS3 sales lower and development cycles longer and more expensive, it will probably take the biggest hit from game cancelations. This will only increase the perception that the PS3 is loosing, and will lower sales further.
A potential mid 2009 PS3 price cut and sales turn around might come too late, as publishers are probably waiting for the 2008 holiday numbers to decide what to cancel and what to keep.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
