It ONLY took a whole generation... yeah there in trouble..

Seriously, M$ is trying to get the casual market, which doesnt give a flying EFF about kinect.. at least not for the $150 stand alone price..

5 years might be a generation for xbox and wii, but ps3 is only half way and hasnt even peaked yet.

but the system that ends up in 3rd place has still done very well considering there are 3 competitive systems this gen (or half of a gen)

how do you know they havent peaked... in fact they techincally have, they have had a highest sales year so far. There might be a better one and that'll be their new peak year. 

because this years price drop is the one where the masses go to get a ps3. and theres uncharted 3, infamous 2, resistance 3, last guardian, twisted metal all still to come.

if wii or xbox cant outsell ps3 worldwide at a price point where more people can afford it, how is it going to outsell it when ps3 drops into that price range? as the price comes down, the difference in price gets smaller and the value of ps3's features will stand out more.

I was proven wrong last year with kinect but i dont think nintendo or microsoft have anything that big for this year. microsoft has gears but compare it with the 5 games i mentioned above....

so the point is ps3 will have a bigger advantage over wii and xbox this year than it has ever had previously.

im not sure how much the PSN incident is gonna hurt them though but i dont think it will be significant unless they get attacked again.

With the projected losses because of the incident I suspect that Sony management may say any price reduction (or the size of the reduction) on hardware is off.  They may simply say additional market share isnt work reducing the hardware margin.
