Sell to the mainstream

In America almost only "hardcore" gamers buy it whereas the Wii and 360 have hit mainstream appeal.  I pretty much never at work see moms and older aged people coming in and buying PS3's.  Its either 360's or Wii's for pretty much all of them.  

The fact is that Sony has completely shot themselves in the foot this entire gen and while they have made an excellent core gaming machine they have failed to really catch the attention of more casual gamers in North America like the other systems have.

True story. Their advertising image of the ps3 as being 'hardcore' and a full home media entertainment system wasn't necessary, and didn't help them to push units. They just need a 'family friendly' sticker alongside some bloody good titles and hopefully sony's future might be saved.

Exactly the people Sony are currently advertising to already know that the PS3 offers an amazing Core experience.  They are all already familiar with Resistance, Infamous, Uncharted, and God of War.  And for some reason thats pretty much the only market they are currently targeting.

As much as it might piss off some of the hardcore forum fans of Sony they need to start advertising the hell out of some more mainstrean / casual games to get some more attention.   Though to be honest I think MS and Nintendo already have grabbed most of that market.  Like I said earlier this thread I think Sony missed their chance at placing higher than 3rd this generation.  Still a great and successful system though.
