This article is quite funny in light of recent sales numbers...

 

You are aware that this week's numbers are in no way a good indicator right? They launched a new model of the PS3 and for some reasons europeans jumped on it like crazy. These numbers are only because of the PS slim slim and that in a week or 2 they will go back to normal.

don't forget that hardware sales does not equal profit.

PS3 sold millions at launch and it LOST Sony money. Sony makes its money from software sales, 

 

My personal view:

It would be nice to see Sony publish software and drop the hardware race, However like others have said it would leave a void. Sadly I can see that void being filled by Apple. If that happesn gaming will be ruined forever as all the apple sheep will flock to the overpriced apple product.
