I'm trying to move away from excuses and in to the reality, it's not selling well for what it is. The PS3 is designed at this point to be a mass market commodity available to anyone in the developed world who can be bothered to scrimp and save for it.
Its losing that "luster", and markedly so in a matter of a couple of months. The Xbox 360 decreasing its price has somehow not just changed the public opinion of the Xbox 360 but also that of the PS3. I'm sure the recession hasn't helped too.
Point being that brand name doesn't come easy, and the PS3 is tossing its one ace away that is "brand name".
There still needs to be a strategy!
Sega relied on its brand name too heavily with the Saturn, Nintendo did with the n64 and Gamecube.
