The PLAYSTATION 3 is not a true PLAYSTATION console at heart and thats why it isnt selling like a PLAYSTATION console.

A PLAYSTATION console launches for a price of 300$. A price the PS3 has not hit yet.

So the true launch of the PS3 begins this year with the launch of a 300$ PS3 slim. And with that TRUE PLAYSTATION launch, PLAYSTATION sales and market domination will be obtained. The PS3 has sold 20mil+ WW. So this PS3 is going to have a 20mil+ boost the PS1 or PS2 didnt have the honour of having.

Thats Why the PS3 is going to have a long life span because people who buy PLAYSTATION have never payed more then 300$. So the 100mil+ PLAYSTATION market will be activated once the PS3 is the price of a PLAYSTATION .

So for reasons stated above the true PS3 launch is when the PS3 hits 300$ later this year. Live in your world. Play in ours.

Discusssssssss.....

 

I mostly agree with your post for once: The current "failure" of the Playstation brand is the result of a too expensive technologies that rapidly became commodities.

They failed at proposing a console on-time (same development time/era of the 360) and had disastrous management over their production capabilities. That is why the Playstation director was fired 2 weeks after the launch.

So, IMO, aside from the difficulties to develop on the plateform and Sony's inabilities to propose a good partnership to other publishers, PS3 will really shine when the price will be dropped.

Even then, it will be difficult to catch up the 360 business model (more margin with less install base).

 I hope they will be able to shift their positionning to a more integrated-services oriented plateform like the 360 (that is where the money is now).

Marketing over "supposed higher" technologies has proved that ... it doesn't sell anymore...

 

I just fear it might be already too late..
