| HappySqurriel said: I keep seeing the comment that it is "Lack of games and too high of a price that is hurting the PS3's sales" and while this is true it has an underlying optimizm which is not really realistic ... The assumption is that as the PS3 gains quality games and as the price drops it will see higher sales; this will probably not happen to the level that these people are expecting. |
I'm not sure people are making that assumption. OK, if the PS3 had a much cheaper price ($400 or less) and better games RIGHT NOW it would probably sell well, but, based on past console wars, a weak first step can cripple the system for its entire run (see GCN). I suspect many of us think that this weak start will begin that chain reaction which will result in bad press, loss of mindshare, and loss of games.
