Alone among the three major videogame consoles, sales of the PS3 are down
about 19% from November 2007, according to the latest stats from the
NPD Group. Sony was only able to sell 378,000 PS3s this November,
compared to 466,000 last year.

The newest DS in Japan(DSi) is dominating the PS3..and it just came o ut too!
Sad generation for PS3......

And the problem for Sony isn't the recession, it's the PS3. Microsoft
(MSFT) put up respectable numbers with its Xbox 360, selling 836,000
units vs 777,000 in November 2007. And Nintendo's (NTDOY) Wii continues
to dominate the market, more than doubling sales from 981,000 to 2.04
million.

Oh yeah,360 is killing the PS3 and the Wii is pooping on both of them.
The bad thing is,Ps3 is trying to do the same EXACT thing as the 360,go with the cheaper one.
PS3 Hardcore,360 Hardcore,Wii Casual.

Wii is differen't,bad move for PS3...but if they make games like PS3 sports,PS3 Play,Ps3 fit I'm going to die.

So why is the PS3 flopping so badly?

1. It's the most expensive console on the market, $150 - $200 more
   than its rivals. Even if you believe the video game industry is
   "recession-proof" (it isn't), a tanking economy makes consumers more
   price-conscious.
   
2. The PS3's big bonus is its ability to double as a Blu-Ray player. Too bad no one seems to care about hi-def DVDs. The differences between Blu-Ray and DVD are hard to see on a TV less than 50".
   
3. The PS3 just doesn't have any must-have titles exclusive to the
   console. "LittleBigPlanet" has generated decent buzz but isn't a
   game-changer, and neither is Sony's new virtual world "Home

So TRUE,BLue Ray isn't that awesome...YET
Its the most expensive system,and whos going to play MGS4,LBP,GOW3 for the whole life span.
Plus the crapped up ported games.

There's really only one option left for Sony to remain in the game: deep price cuts, and not just for people with good credit.
Tell yourself the PS3 has superior graphics if it makes you feel
better, but a $400 console with a mediocre game library simply cannot
compete against an Xbox 360 priced at $200 in this economy.

Yeah,people are losing homes,people will buy the least expensive system hardcore system they can.

My opinion is the PS3 was a failure before it began unfortunately.



The cost was likely the #1 contributor to the failure. I think it still
has a chance if sony repackages the system with new electronics and
make it smaller, more power efficient, cheaper, etc.



If they work the playstation network I think it has alot of
potential. People are still moving into the HDTV market and still need
a form of video player that will run at full HDTV resolutions. The
battle of video formats is *not* over, its far from it.. Today
consumers have more options for multimedia than ever before. Sony will
have to battle netflix's roku set top box as well as microsoft's
xbox/live movie service(s), among other products such as Apple TV,
video on demand, etc etc etc. Sony has to push bluray *HARD* to make
the PS3 a success, even if its just a mild success.



Repackaging the PS3 with no ps2 compatbility, with smaller
electronics, a better bluray player, and a larger harddrive and built
in wifi I believe is what needs to be done. Its possible sony doesnt
have the resources to make that happen.

Sonic Unleashed works better on the PS3 then the 360...

So I take the 360 > PS3 for Unleashed thing.

wow people are pissed o_O

this is the type of dumb shit im talking about....it's painfully obvious that this topic would get on peoples nerves...and you knew it auto....yet...you did it anyway. smh.....

All this does is start arguments...

Oh yeah,I forgot most people here own PS3s!

I thought only like 2 people did....or 3

i dont, but chill dude

I'm not mad, young one.

I'm getting a Wii soon and I own a 360.

Shows how much you know about me, eh?

BTW that was triple post you finished doing.

And yes this is fanboy behavior.

Do you own a 360? No

A PS3? No

A Wii? Yeah

There you go.

No it is not

Am I competing the Wii to PS3 NO

Am I competing 360 to PS3 Yes

Sorry,but its true the PS3 is doing badly.
Its actually fan boys complaining its not when it IS.

Double post,since this isn't Srb2 I like to Double/triple post.

Also I thought you had a gamer tag.....or not.

Oh well ^_^

I never complained that it was bad.

Results from companies are funny.

I dunno about you guys but I'm no fanboy.

I wouldn't threaten a guy for not having the same console because...I don't care.

Also, I never said you compared those two consoles in THIS topic, but you have in others.

The point of having gaming consoles is for money,and they compete.

It's life.

I can see that.
