Considering the PS3 is being sold as both a videogames system AND a BR player these recent figures for Sony are very very bad. They have the PS3 competing in 2 massive markets and yet it is selling criminally low. As the next generation will be starting 2010/2011 (I predict both Microsoft AND Nintendo will have new systems out in these 2 years) Sony has put all their eggs in one basket for 10 years! Problem is the PS3 will be looking terribly out of date by next year or 2011 and will have to be vastly redesigned to keep up with technology AND storage medium coming within the next 2 years. Not a chance on this planet the PS3 is going to last another 10 years with the technology iinside it today. In 2 years the PS3 will be laughed at technology wise and in 10 years if it hasnt been laughed off the planet by then will be sold in novelty shops!!

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
