Everyone says that the PS3 has no chance to do any better than 2nd place... last year everyone said that for sure they will be the last. If they cut the price to 299(but being profitable) and released a Wii-like controller that appeals to casuals (but with many 1st party games to start with), they could compete against the Wii. |
Why did the less expensive and more powerful Nintendo Gamecube not compete well against the PS2?
The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of third party development (for 2009 and beyond) that is targeting the mainstream audience will be focusing on the Wii; without this development any effort to target this market will be futile.

Maybe it isn't likely, but it certainly is possible that the PS3 will compete against the Wii. The Wii was a fad 2 years ago, remember?

Realistically, what was the likelyhood of Nintendo or Microsoft comming back to compete against the PS2 in mid 2003?
The way the market works is that there are (essentially) two feedback loops (or you could say two sides to the same feedback loop) that make it nearly impossible to change the outcome after the market has choosen a dominant console; essentially, third party support follows console sales and consumers follow the system that has the strongest support.
