Is the PS3 selling badly? Why do you think it is/isn't?

This is hopeless. You have a system that is third sales. Following up two systems that dominated the market and it is not a failure? I mean every month, I keep hearing about when X games come out in a few months from now the PS3 sales will pick up. I am certain that will occur to a certain degree but will those games push the more expensive PS3 past its more inexpensive competition? No. I am sick of hearing bout will if you don't have a 360, the PS3 has a better lineup than the Wii. That ignores the fact that the cheaper 360 has a better lineup than the PS3. If the PS3 has the better lineup, you would keep hearing about well in six months, well when FFXIII comes out, well when MGS4 hits...

The bottom line is this, the general gaming audience is fickle and they will not wait for the PS3 lineup to improve. They will continue to pick up 360s and Wiis and the PS3 will continue to lag behind. I have yet to hear a reason why the PS3 will be the exception to the rule and overcome its dire situation. While the Sony fateful is waiting, the general gaming population will be happily enjoying their 360s and Wii and telling their friends about all the games they are playing creating the same continual snowball effect that allowed NES to revive the market and the Sony's PS1 to usurp the crown from Nintendo's N64.

if its beating the number 2 system on the market on a weekly basis what does that mean for the number 2 system??
