It is NOT a WHOLE new method. The core idea has been done before, but the tech itself is more advanced, cost-efficient, and at the same time, much more practical for gaming.

Not trying to downplay it, as it no doubt stands out from other products, but the method is not new.

OT: Frankly, nothing. It might have a slim chance at overtaking the 360 in overall WW sales, but other than that, there's nothing to be done (granted, it'll need a price cut for that). The brand is seriously hurt in the Americas (and the UK, but it's nowhere near as important), and the Wii is just trucking along nicely.

Next gen, they need to hit mainstream appeal with something especially in the US.

1 . The "nightmare" devs had lasted 6 months, not over a year (the PS3 was getting the same complaints). These complaints were short-lived, as there was quite a selection of games available within the first 2 years of the PS2's life.

2. Yes, $300, not $600, which is my point. And as you said in point 3, it had a massive jump start on the other consoles, and the Xbox was an unknown, and Nintendo just came off of a previous loss to the PS1. It was the best choice at the price range.

3. DC was dead out of the gate like a lame horse. It had its cult following, but all but the true fans were already done with Sega. The general trend is that after getting it's butt handed to it in a previous gen, a console has a hard time next gen recovering,. For example:

-Sega wasn't even a factor in the PS1 vs N64 days, and got decimated by the SNES before that. 

-Nintendo got stomped by the PS1, and had a hard time recovering with the GameCube.                          

-It is expected that by this tradition, Sony will have some difficulty next generation. I believe it will be less of a factor, as the PS3 has already done some recovery in the last half of its existence.

I remember the whole "Console War" last gen, when that term first really came to use. The PS2's early hardships nowhere nearly rivaled that of the PS3's launch.

$100 PRICECUT

GTA NEXT as Exclusive

that should be enough to get it into 2nd place but the end of 2011

EDIT:

they also need PIRACY as that atleast sells HW

This post is WAY off.

Sony IP's have ZERO attention from the mainstream crowd. 

Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, and other Sony exclusives are not selling at all to the mainstream gamer only to the core ones.  Price has nothing to do with it.  Sony's IP's aren't even close to as powerful as Nintendo's even if they are arguably better games.
