Fact - Sony is in trouble financially and they will be cutting/mering studios shortly. Much like microsoft did with Ensemble Studios
Fact - Developers do not care about blu-ray especially since it is on the console with the smallest user base and smallest software sales. Wii and the xbox 360 are the priority at this moment.
Fact - Ps3 is hard to program for which leads to fewer games and poor quality ports. The only way for sony to avoid this is by making first party games.
Fact - developers are growing impatient at sony's refusal to lower the price of the ps3.

Yes, the ps3 and psp have had several game announcements but these 2 systems are not moving much software. Even sony's own financial reports said their yearly profits willc be down due to lower than expected game sales.

Had to fix a few things for you. That fourth one, I agree with. However, if you were just trying to educate the masses, REASONABLY, that would be one thing. Since you always post anti-Sony propaganda, it's hard to take ANYTHING you say seriously.

I think you are both wrong to an extent.
Both companies HAVE cut games due to tough financial times.
Most developers DO NOT care about Blu Ray, however I do believe the largest determining factors are still userbases and tie-rates.
The PS3's programing difficulties HAVE led to fewer games (Valve) AND poorer ports (tonnes of them).
I agree that developers are growing impatient, but dont feel much can be done. Sony is between a rock and a hard place.
