Was Leo-J right about the PS3 price-cut effect?

Depends on the context of the word: Comeback.

- Is it now a viable machine with a healthy library at an affordable price: Yes.

does a healthy library or a decent price have anything to do with a comeback ? no

- Is it outselling it's closest rival on the road to take 2nd Place: Yes.

now that's a very slow comeback, and there are many turns ahead on that road

- Is it bringing money to the company who so ever poured billions into it's research/construction: Not yet.

so by that context : no

- Does it offer anything different from it's closest rival to be considered fairly different: Yes, though it took a while.

what does that have to do with a comeback ?

- Will it be as successful as it's two older brothers: (PS1) - Probably not. (PS2) - No.

at least we agree it's no coming back to that

If you put all those in place, it has made good headway and has become a healthy machine with a more than stellar line-up of titles. It's done itself a service by jumping out of that dark hole we called "doomed". However, it will fail at capturing the success of past PlayStation consoles, which in turn is it's biggest flukes of all.

exactly, the slim + price cut had a positive effect (how could it be otherwise?)

From a personal standpoint, it's one of the most enjoyable pieces of technology that I've ever had the pleasure of acquiring. But from a business standpoint, it hasn't made strong enough progress to be considered a full blown: "Comeback Kid" just yet.

Just my opinion.
