Of course PS3 is doomed. Selling slowly. Price cuts distant. Mass-market price virtually unreachable for 5 years. Japan lost. Short list of killer apps, all of them with XBox 360 competitors. Overall game announcements of any type lagging. Epic loss of mindshare. Continuing bad press. Billions in losses, with no strong vision on how to so much as stop the bleeding. And 35 years of precedent saying it can't recover. Sorry to be the doom-monger. But its over.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
