Now that Blu-Ray has won, will the PS3 become successful (in America)?

Think about it this way, Americans will face:

• Mortgages worth more than their house, effectively eliminating refinancing and home equity lines of credit
• High credit card debt
• Falling stock markets
• Bank Failures
• Higher unemployment
• Tougher lending standards (often requiring 20% down to buy a home)

And you expect people to continue throwing away perfectly good TVs to buy a new TV because it is new?

 

Or think about it this way, the U.S. does not equate to worldwide.

A few of those case scenarios of yours still have yet come to pass, such as your higher unemployment example; still nowhere near as close as your country, the Great White North.
