The PS3 is doing just fine, thank you very much. At $599, it was never going to sell like the Wii or the 360. Sony had to do several things at once: (1) be very very careful not to kill off the PS2 too quickly, (2) continue to cultivate the Playstation fan base across three platforms, (3) keep their studio system on track, (4) make sure the media functionality and features of the PS3 worked as advertised, (5) get the BluRay juggernaut rolling.
They delivered on all counts. Sure, you can critique the lack of rumble, which was a result of legal wrangling with Immersion. But this holiday season they have their hardware, software and price points all sorted out.
