THE GAP - PS3 can't catch the XBOX360 - pure mathematics

Like I said, regions are important. Xbox is growing pretty big in North America but is still far behind that in Europe and Japan, even if it is growing even there. Failed brand? I don't think so. I'd say it's pretty much forum-talk and doomsday-blogs. The average consumer doesn't probably think of PlayStation as a failed brand.

 

What the average consumer sees are aisles that used to belong to the playstation family being refitted to accommodate Wii and 360 games. 

Even in Spain, most retailers I've been to use 50% of their floorspace for Nintendo products while the rest is evenly split between Microsoft and Sony. 

Consumers do notice it when they are picking games from either center row or the back corner.

Even if Wii and Xbox are gaining popularity, it doesn't mean that PlayStation is doing significantly worse than before. Sure, there's some impact but I doubt it's that big yet.
