Sony were idiots who thought that everybody was a Sony fanboy, didn't realize that software sells hardware, that even the best software can't sell 600$ of HW, made the PS3 like it is solely to push the Blu-Ray and Cell (these two were the reason the PS3 was so expensive in the first place, they just weren't ready for real mass production), had a sucky promotional campaign...
Should I go on?
With PR like "pepole will find a second job to find it", Sony really missed the mark, most pepole don't like gaming to this extreme extent.
The PS3 is a mistake and a failure, and the machine would've been much better, made a smaller loss (or even a profit!) sold a lot more (due to being cheapr and that most of the developers wouldn't have seen the need to develop for the 360)... really now.
(And make no mistake, PS3 is my 7th gen console of choice).
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
