Sony’s responded to tonight’s NPD figures by saying PS3 is “just getting warmed up” and pointing out differences between its console, 360 Arcade and Wii.

“When you compare all the features against other industry offerings, there is no doubt that the PlayStation 3 provides the most complete entertainment system on the market today – right out of the box,” said the firm in a statement.

“Not only are consumers provided a best-in-class Blu-ray player that comes with 80 GB of storage for photos and music, built-in Wi Fi, and thousands of innovative games that appeal to hardcore gamers and families alike, the PS3 offers future-proof technology and free access to rich and ever-evolving PlayStation Network content and services.”

A handy chart was provided to point all this out. Look:

Now why can't we get bundles instead of a price-drop, is it really that hard?
I think that there sales will get a boost next year. With the shape of the economy a slim won't happen.

Sorry, Sony, but the PS3 is not warming up. To be forthright, the current state of the PS3 is the antithesis of warming up. Tis' an exceptional system, and I am satisfied with my purchase, but no one is buying the BS you are peddling.
