It doesn't matter if it's bad economy or competitors offer lower price. It's never good to be down YOY while the competitors are up YOY during holiday season. It would be better if Sony is making money which is also not the case.
Investors are not going to care why Sony is doing bad. What's important to them is the results that PS3 is down YOY and Sony is losing money. Sony needs a new strategy for the current market, not just for PS3 but for the whole product lines.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
