Nice generalization. I know many people here that have PS3s. I would agree with you in 2007, but not now. Status symbol has very little to do with it. Some people actually enjoy the games that are on the PS3, without thinking about what is the "cool and popular" thing. I know, it's hard to believe.
On topic.
Hype in forums/gaming communities/among fanboys DOES NOT mean hype for the rest of the world. That's where Sony has a problem. The first/second party development as far as quality is where it needs to be. Marketing isn't.
On an anecdotal note (and this is just anecdotal), most PS3 gamers I talk to IRL don't have one game they all like. With the 360 owners, it's Halo and Gears that they like the most almost without out exception. The only exceptions being the two 360 owners I knew from Japan.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
