@Montana: You seem more agitated than necessary, if you don't like what he posted you don't have to reply to it, what is the point of turning this into a flame thread

They failed to deliver because it was $599.99 thats it SHUT da Hell up already with the bashing.

The price is why they failed to have a great year.

THE PRICE NOT THE GAMES NOT ANYTHING ELSE, THE PRICE!!!!

And it will sell better since it dropped its price because....

Maybe the Wii will sell better because it has a larger name now than the PS3.

Brand name also contributes a lot.


 

Yep

Here's the idea I got from skimming:

"Sony did this, and that was dumb, and me, as the genius, think they should have done this!"

 thats exactly what I got out of the post. Games between the PSN and Retail they have over 130 games. Launch they had like 25 including PSN titles. 

 

Leo is actually correct. Sony major fault was the price. Blu-ray isnt even a point becasue of you notice transitions

PS1 CD -> PS2 DVD -> PS3 Blu-ray -> PS4 Holo Disc

It would have been a great move if they released it in 2 more years.

Blu-Ray is too expensive right now. And due to the low price, low sales, low sales means less brand recognition means less sales.

Here is a nice little diagram.

High Price ---> Less Sales ---> Less Brand Recognition ---> Less Sales

In spite of his immature delivery, Leo-J has a point ... Price is the biggest factor which led to the PS3's downfall.

Had Sony produced a $300 console that was backwards compatible with the PS2 their legions of fans would have rushed out to buy a PS3 without any concern for any features that the system came with; the fact that the PS3 launched at $500/$600 meant that consumers were forced to stop and look at their alternatives.
