If the PS3 continues on its current path they will have sold about 8 Million units worldwide by the end of the year; this would cause immediate changes in the PS3s line-up and you would probably see no more exclusive third party PS3 games. Basically, if the PS3 doesn't start to sell units the system will have greater problems later on ...

so if the ps3 sells 8 million in the first year you are tellin me thats a bad thing?? what are you crazy.360 sold 8 mil its first year so i guess microsoft is in a heap of trouble.. i swear man people hate for no reason at all and say nonsense like that
Yes, it is a bad thing ...
Systems like the Gamecube and Dreamcast sold in the amazingly high 8 million system range in their first year and were rewarded with developers jumping ship; I suspect the only reasons developers did not leave the XBox 360 is because it had no competition (thus by default was the best selling system), and its performance was strong in North America (the target market of most of the XBox developers).
You have to realize that developers are not patient ... they don't wait for you to start to perform and they don't try to pick you up when you're down ...
