This was mostly the conjecture PS2 fanboys-turned-360 fanboys trying to make themselves feel better about not a having a PS3 for whatever reason (mostly the overwhelming pricing from 2006-2009). I don't know if we can say the bad publicity was as drastic, nor am I saying they were wrong to not a have a PS3 at the time (although I bet they would never have given the 360 any consideration had the PS3 and 360 been evenly-priced simultaneously from the get go) but the propanganda in context wasn't any different from those who went NES-to-Genesis instead of NES-to-SNES when Nintendo's marketing failed to justify the pricepoint of the SNES early on. |
Though I do agree with this, I still think that the sales were bad, because Sony thought so. The early price cut is a clear sign of that. People can debate all they want, but at the end of the day Sony is a company that invests money on their products. If they are not happy, it means that they are not being successful, which they weren't with the ps3. So I stand by my point. The ps3 did not do well. The 3ds isn't doing great either, but it's doing considerably better.
