Since when does two years translate into today, and only today. Ignoring the past is no better then penning revisionist history. Consumers do not start each and every day as a blank sheet. They form perceptions of something based upon their first experiences. In this case their first experiences with this console which would be its first year mind you was a console that sold poorly, was obscenely expensive, and had no games for months on end. Whether you understand it or not the saying is true once bitten twice shy. Sony left a nasty taste in the mouths of gamers, and consumers in general.
Those fellow human beings have most certainly not forgotten. So they are not inclined to look positively upon the console. That is a massive problem for Sony, because as they exhaust people that were less harsh in their judgment these consumers that had a bad impression of their console are still walking around with that bad impression justified or not. That is not going to help Sony. They need to find a way to change minds, or win back those they lost, and they lost a lot. That price tag alone lost them a lot of loyal customers who felt exploited.
Bottom line it is hard to change someones negative opinion, but Sony needs to do exactly that, because the blind loyalists and the technophiles will eventually run dry, and they are going to need that larger range that was put off early on. They are not waiting for the price to drop. They just don't give a shit they haven't given a shit since Sony launched a six hundred dollar console with not games which nobody bought.
