Doomed? No. Going to do dramatically less in lifetime sales compared to PS/2? Yes. Definately. Going to be less than 1/3 of PS2's sales, less than 40k. Main reasons, which is why Ken was 'retired'. Too expensive. I think Sony recognizes this and that is why almost immediately when they dropped Ken they also dropped the emotion chip. Next is there Bluray manuf cost. This will drop quickly for them. I bet that even though they have said officially that there will be no price drop til atleast 2008, I bet we see one this holiday season. A significant one of $100 or more. However, just as the PSP is not a failure as someone mentioned it has sold better than anyother handheld company has agianst Nintendo. It will eventually reach the 30m mark, which is a profit maker for Sony and thus not a failure. I expect the PS3 to be similar. Sony may still consider it a failure simply because it create such a drop in market share and overall sales as compared to previous playstations.
