I think Sony over estimating the power of the Playstation Brand, in much the same way Nintendo did with the N64... the difference is Nintendo is a smarter company.... Nintendo still made alot of money on the 64, while the PS3 is a black whole...
I honestly think it is tarnished, even look at the PSP... That was "supposed" to take the portable crown from Nintendo.... and it basically turned out to be a Decent multimedia device.
I suggest they drop the Playstation and Sony should start fresh.
The DS was a fresh start for Nintendo, Sony needs something too.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
