The ps3 has a longer list I just cant find the entire list right now but when I get it I will be sure to post it.

Answering the thread title and ignoring the possibility that somebody else said the same thing already...

Is the PS3 really selling that badly? I'm gonna go with that the $100 price cut says, "Yes."

 Actually Sony reduced the price of its blu-ray component about $100, so the losses per system probably aren't any greater than the Launch data.  I've been seeing alot of "Maybe I should get a PS3 after all" comments browsing around various news forums after this announcement.  

I'm going to assume PS3 sales are going up from here, especially with new bomb of software titles and online functionality that Sony has planned.

M$ sales will probably rise too with their increase in cosumer confidence, and if they drop the price too.

If M$ does a price drop too, then I'm going to guess that their losses will be greater this fiscal than Sony with the fact that they are going to have to repair all the consoles and give mass refunds.

PS3 sales will go up from here for the rest of the year. Price cut, big exclusives and holidays ahead.

of course it has a longer list. If you take fantasy games into account then yes the PS3 list is longer than on that site. However, whatever criteria you use to produce a PS3 list, you should use the SAME criteria to produce the Xbox360 and Wii list, and you'll find that the PS3 list is still the shortest.

Of course, you will just produce a (mostly wrong) list for the PS3, and then say "see, this proves that the PS3 has the most exclusives". I'm sorry, but the PS3 has the least reliable, confirmed exclusives out of all three consoles. It's a fact. There are the numbers, and the names. You can argue that the games will be better if you want, but don't say there are more because that is a LIE.

Every month people have claimed that "PS3 sales will go up from here for the rest of the year" ...

Undoubtedly the PS3 sales will improve at some point, its naive for anyone to think they'll keep atrophying to the point of failing the system. The real question here is though, how much will a Price Cut and "Big Exclusives" help sales, how long will the keep sales up and will it be enough to detour the possibility of Sony's discontinument of the PlayStation 3.

A better question would be though, Can we really claim there is any "necessity" for the existence of the PlayStation line to Sony or even its gaming division anymore? By the time the PS3 becomes profitable or mainstream (if it ever becomes either) Blu-Ray will not only have been made or broken as a worthwhile format irregardless but will most likely have become a more worthwhile and affordable purchase in itself. With the weekly drop in PS3 sales and continued advances in diode technology it becomes ever more argumentative as to how much the Blu-Ray or Sony really needs the PS3 as a vehicle of appeal. At best we can conclude the PS3, to a certain extent, needs Blu-Ray but not vice-versa, and if that's not the case now, it soon will be.

Everyone is entitled to their optimism but the fact of the matter remains that the PlayStation 3, as a mediocre flop of a system (at this point in time) and as a money pit is not only a potential threat to Sony's financial stability and investors but has essentially become a moot endeavor in itself now that Blu-Ray is on the verge of spreading its own wings. In fact one could argue that even associating the two could cast doubt on the fledgling disc fomrat's future as the PS3 (whether you agree with it or not) has come to symbolize for many the quintisential icon of huberus, excess and technological inflation. This connection is not only furthered by the fact that both the PS3 and Blu-Ray were essentially launched together (almost as one entity even), but both share similar positions in their markets as the most powerful and most expensive.

It's not even a situation where you can argue Sony would lose money to abandon the PS3, they would honestly probably see a renewed confidence in their company's management and future as I'm sure would be voiced across the land by overzealous market analysts. And should the best case scenario occur and the PS3 eventually become the top runner of this race it would be years before even a minimal profit was seen if any at all, and its benefit to Blu-Ray, arguable at best, its a no win situation really.

Sony isn't Sega they have enough money in the bank to stay in gaming for along time to come and the main reason that Sony is as popular as they are now is the PS2.
Price cut boosted sales on Amazon by 2800% this is a sign that times are changing and Ninja Gaiden Sigma has been released which is much better than the original and is amazing the graphics superb and it instantly grabs you in and you can't put it down.

Thats it ps3 is officially selling better than the 360 and possibly better than the wii in the U.S.

But how long will the sales boost last?

I would wait at least a couple of weeks before I made the claim that these sales were a sign that "times are changing." The PS3 sold (roughly) 1 Million systems at $600 in Europe and (immediately) PS3 fanboys claimed that Sony owned Europe yet weeks later sales dropped off rapidly; the level of sales that the PS3 returns to will largely determine what the impact of the price drop was.
