November NPD actually good for Sony.

@RolStoppable:

The PS2 sold well because it was the cool system among gamers and it had all the games, that's why it could sell this well even at $300. The PS3 is neither the cool system among gamers nor does it have all the games, so it's unlikely that it can match the sales of the PS2 at the same price point and much less while still being $100 more expensive.

MEGA LOL.

Don't buy that PlayStation
It's overpriced and has no online access, and hardly any good games are available to play on it.

No. The PS2 is not the revolutionary device that Sony's marketing department would have you believe. Don't get me wrong; it's definitely the most powerful video-game machine on the planet right now. But that's not enough.

The PS2's stats are certainly impressive; it's got hardware power to burn. But so what? There's just not much software available that can take advantage of it. The games that are being released at the same time as the system don't rise much, if at all, above games available for Sega's rival (and cheaper) Dreamcast video-game system.

Sony is also under the mistaken impression that including the ability to play DVD movies is a huge selling point. But true technophiles and hardcore gamers probably already have DVD drives. I'm a good case in point. I already own a Sony DVD player, so I could not care less if the $299 PS2 can play movies. I'd rather pay less and get a machine that just plays games instead.

In comparison, the Sega Dreamcast sells for $149 and has a giant library of games already available. Sega also has an online game network, Seganet.
