I'm sorry, but this argument is getting old. If the PS3 thrives so well on brandname, why is it still struggling to keep up?

 

Do you fail to see its in a software drought and damn near twice the price of the competition, price means little on xmas.

 

 


 Sorry Killzone, as someone who thinks the PS3 is far from doomed I have to disagree with you here.  Its not that price doesn't mean anything at X-mas, its that it means less.  And I can't help but wonder how many people are really going to spend $500 on a console when for so many people that is all or most of their X-mas spending money. I think the big reason price means less at X-mas has to do with the messed up mentality that expensive gifts mean you care more. So if getting little Timmy a PS3 means someone else doesn't get a gift at all that could be a problem. But aside fromt hat I just don't see people going out in droves and dropping that kind of cash for a console, mainstream still percieves all consoles as toys, and when they probably have quite a few other people to shop for it will be hard to justify that kind of expenditure on what they percieve as a toy.

This is why we will probably see a poor performance of the Elite, mediocre performance for the premium, and most of the sales for the 360 will go to the "Core".
