It's funny how all of you are attacking on the PS3, when you should stop and look at it's competitor.
Oh yeah! Then compare the prices.

Hhhmm.. ok.

 

M$ XBox 360 - $199 - $399

Nintendo Wii - $249

Sony PS3 - $399 - $499

Looks like the PS3 is much higher still, hense the low poor sales. That might be why people are still attacking the PS3.

Croiky a blind xbot...wut a rare sight in these forums!

no seriously if the ps3 is only behind the xbox by 20k a week than the xbox is also having poor sales if the ps3 sales are poor. they are then especially poor if the lowest price point for the xbox is 199

The difference is the XBox 360 sales % is higher this year, then last year, while the PS3 and even the Wii are much lower in sales. The Wii is only $250, yet its sales have dropped considerable compared to last year. So it's not all about price. All 3 systems are selling poorly do to the economy, but the PS3 is doing a lot worse then it's competition. Having a $1.3 billion in losses last year didn't help either.

Luckily Sony got wise and is releasing the PS3 Slim. They need to get rid of the 80GB and 160GB PS3's though, as the price cuts on those will actually cause Sony to lose even more money. If they concentration on the PS3 Slim alone, they should do ok this holiday season. They honestly couldn't do any worse then last year, that's for sure.
