A lot of people doubted the PS3 very early on tbh. Not talking about this site, but there was a poll on another forum late 2006/early 2007 asking would the PS3 pass 10 million, most people voted no. But I dont know, they probably just idiots.

 

But it doesnt really matter, the PS3 IS doing well, its just when you compare it to the other 2 its not doing so well, but it is right behind the 360 at double the price, Sony needs to announce it for $300 at E3 to spark things up.

 

It was doing sub 100k NPD's. That's below 25k/week. Japanese sales were bleak as well (below 10k/week).

If Sony hadn't slashed the price by 200$ there wouldn't be a ps3 now.

It was a 100$ Price cut because the 600$ 60GB model got slashed to 500$ and the 40GB came in at 400$ (Replacing the LAUNCH 20GB 500$ PS3 ) EDIT : And by your logic, The most recent 360 price cut was from 450$ to 199$? As Elite WAS 450$ (Now 399$) and Arcade WAS 250$ IIRC (Now 199$) So by your logic, that's a 250$ price cut
