When will PS3 lose its momentum?!

[albionus]

It may be news to had core gamers and Sony but most people who buy a video game system understand they are buying a toy. I don't know why so many PS3 fans think that price cuts occur in a vacuum or that Sony can just price cut its way to success. Nintendo could go to $100 more easily than Sony can go to $400 for example. Heck seeing as initially the sale price of the Wii is only just greater than the loss on the PS3, Nintendo could give them away for the same financial hit as Sony is taking at $600. A hit Nintendo could much more easily bear to begin with. Eventually the PS3 could come down to a mass market price, but by that point we'll be talking about GTA VI, VF VII, FFXV, DQ XI, etc. on the Wii (those that aren't exclusive would be special editions llike Godfather). That being said if you read in particular the Japan point of no return thread you'll see that not many are saying it's time to put up the for sale signs over at Sony. The PS3 will manage to do alright at the least, probably GameCube level as a minimum. It may indeed have a comeback but selling this poorly over its first 4 months despite being in supply, losing 3rd parties left and right, losing almost all of its exclusives outside of 1st party, while a competing system has the opposite happening is not a mere hiccup in the permanent dominance of the Playstation. I think it's fair to include the DS but whatever on that one. The PS2 also had mass market priced competitors which the Wii does not. The Wii's 3rd party support is a bit late in coming but it is coming. Fortunately, being a Nintendo system 1st party games can more than fill the gap until they arrive late this year and into next year. MySims isn't worth anything? I wouldn't be surprised if that game makes households have two Wiis, one for mother/gf/sister to play MySims and the other for father/bf/brothers. The only next gen console with a DQ game isn't worth anything (in Japan at least)? Nights though I'm not sure how popular it really is, seems to be generating an inordinate amount of internet buzz though? At the moment it is a bit slim but with GTA support up in the air and FF's fate not fully resolved (apparently we will here about that in 6 weeks) and more and more 3rd party announcements every week that will change. It's probably best for Nintendo that it not have that kind of dictatorial power over 3rd parties again. We saw what the power trip is causes did to Nintendo after 2 cycles and now we're seeing what its doing to Sony after 2 cycles also.
