Does anyone think PS3 can realistically get to second place?

Not to mention they have offered no exteneded warranty for YLOD repairs which seem to effect almost every launch unit within 3 years or so.

Extended warranty only exists on the 360 due to miserable built quality. It also does not cover all kinds of failures.

Actually this is exactly why Sony needs one for PS3's.  The launch machines must have horrible build quality with all of them getting YLOD.  They only need to cover YLOD with their warranty like MS only covers RROD/E74.

I mean they stripped us of our backwards compatibility that came in launch units

It was clear those chips had to go eventually, any tech enthusiast could tell you this.

They should have waited till they mastered the software emulation then, first.  Any tech enthusiast and intelligent consumer could tell you this.

It was a nice extra, not key functionality. You can still buy an external solution (most however won't).

stripped away OtherOS

Sad, but understandable. Didn't know you were such a big fan of this feature?

I'm not, but quite a few people were.  I'm against a company removing features of a product for no reason.  It got Sony a whallop of trouble in lawsuits too.  Tsk. Tsk.
