Offer some opinions on what you think Sony needs to do to win back the top spot next gen with their next console.
Sony started out rather slow, most likely due to the high price of the PS3 this gen. They definitely can't be doing that with their next console, as another one with a $600 price tag will be a killer; they should be aiming for a $300 or so price tag initially. They have done a great job with their first party titles this gen, but I think they need to advertise them a little better. While they sell well, they are not the juggernauts that Nintendo's and Microsoft's sales are with their first party titles. With some tweaks, their online system could be really great; a better web browser (if they keep it), some better security (to avoid another fiasco like earlier this year), and maybe some more features. I think the XMB design is great, but it might need some slight tweaking.
EDIT - I forgot one thing. Sony needs to stop advertising a lot of features at first and then removing them.
