Greenberg: Wii, Xbox 360 are really the two big winners but not for PS3

Well, personally, aside from the "knowledgeables" that are the fans (like us I presume), I don't think that this PR from Sony for example, is hurting them that badly with the general audience, especially over here, since sony is known as a extremely high quality product name (a tad expensive though), so they would need to do a whole lot to destroy that image.

And for the fans and such, who follow this news regularly, they talk about it like we do, so they are "desensitized" to it already, no?

It may not hurt them a lot, but apparently it doesn't help either... Do you see any evidence that people believe PS3 is cheaper than the 360? Marketing and PR are supposed to be boosters, and as such I think that SCE's marketing/PR is lousy these days (but getting better).

I would also think that these memes (negative or positive) can spread from the hardcore fans to the less knowledgeable people, but that's just my guess.
