Didnt the ps3 sell 400,000 consoles this week? Doesnt look like its failing to me |
Yeah, and there are ~6.5+ billion people on Earth (not counting third-world countries or children, who cannot afford the console). It sounds like failing to me, when the other 2 (Wii and DS) are slaughtering the other two companies.
I once heard that the greatest weakness of any power is the power itself...it may be true, then, for what Sony is going through. The PS3 was like a glass cannon by my standards. It has a lot of power and potential, but marketing and price is what is causing it to suffer. That form of power that Sony has is unstable. They've created a machine with unlimited potential, but at the same cost they did not realize that the price and most of the games that cater for the console (mainly non-family centric) would cause it to not sell. And now with the global economy, things are going to get grim for them.

the wii didn't sell 6.5 billion either so it should be failing too.
400,000 for a console of it price its exceptional, even the wii wouldn't be able to sell that much at the ps3. price.

Piss poor response, and overused.
A) If the Wii was $400 it would have a lot more in it, IE a blu ray player and HD graphics.
B) The Wii never has been $400 so you have no idea how it would of sold.
EDIT > My bad misread your quote, you probably think that anyway so I will leave it there ;)
