The PS3 won't make it past 2012 in America at retail.

I agree with squillam, PS3 is doing pretty terribly in the States at the moment, and we still dont know when will the rumoured price cut arrive and will it have any pernament impact (in my opinion, it will have tiny, just like GC and Xbox Impacts had in relations to PS2) it will provide a short term boost but nothin major compared to what is needed (and what did 360 achieve last holidays). PS3 simply is not popular in the states and thats a fact, 6 years of sales sound pretty realistic. I overall think that PS3 might struggle to outsell lifetime sales of PSP , because PSP recovered well in Japan.

 

I want all consoles to do well, but Future in the States for PS3 looks grim.

 

 This is how i expect someone to comment on rather than simply supporting their fav console boasting about facts. 

Now for the bold statement in your post. It's not a tiny impact instead a big impact upon price-cut. Infact so spontaneously high in contrast to 360's holiday 2008

Well i hope im wrong, but the problem lies elswhere. Xbox 360 was arleady a popular product in the US without the price cut, different price point just increased its popularity. I think wii would share similar faith if the price is slashed, but the PS3 has this common thing with GC in the States for example that there is not that much demand for it (even software sells better in Others)  so i dont expect from PS3 to improve as much as the 360 did. I just hope that they can somehow become profitable before they slash the price, cause it would be a risky move.
