Is the Playstation 3's success the only thing Sony has left?

I hate reading articles from authors who jump to conclusions way too quickly.

Did he really thing the PS3 would instantaneously have the same number of games as the 360? Did he think hardware sales would be identical out of the gates? Does he not think the PS3 has huge name games on the way?

Does he really think that the paramount deal will destroy bluray? Does he really think the production costs for bluray are a massive issue? If he believes any of those, then hes an idiot.

Also as far as their gaming division goes, im sure sony is doing fine. They still sell absolutely massive amounts of ps2 consoles and games, and their psp division is doing fine. Yes the DS dominates in handhelds, but the psp is still making money for them.

First off, I am all for lowering PS3 prices, but I don't think that this move will "save" or "hurt" Sony like this clown seems to think. Sony makes great TV product and this line has done extremely well. I will agree that the PS3 is an integral part of Sony's strategy and it is also an extremely solid piece of hardware, but its not the end-all be-all to Sony regianing market share. Added to all of this is this constent comparison (and everyone does this) with the WII, XBOX 360 and PS3. Why do they always compare the WII? It is in its own little gaming niche, it doesn't hold a candle to the power of either the XBOX or PS3. Having all three, I can tell you the PS3 is the superior piece of hardware, if it was a little less expensive and had more "made for PS3 games", it would sell way better then it has to date. Time will tell, I think the PS3 will eventually eclipse XBOX, it needs about another year, some killer games and a lower price.

First of all I think the guy who wrote that is a total jerk-off. How about putting up some facts to back up your opinion? Since when is blu-ray and the ps3 "in dire straights".
Last time I checked blu-ray is reportedly outselling HD-DVD 2 or 3 to 1. I believe I read that the ps3 has sold more units in a shorter time than the ps2 did at launch yet everyone says what a failure it is. I also remember reading that the ps2 still outsold the xbox360 in recent quarters.
The fact that the 360 has more titles... well duh devs have had 14 months to crank out games for it.
So how exactly does this all spell doom and gloom for Sony? I must be an idiot because to me it seems as though sony is doing quite well considering they are launching a new console and a new format at the same time.

A good question to ask yourself. Sony entered the market with a high price tag for a machine that was based on technology that might not succeed. A price cut has gone into effect and we're seeing blu-ray slowly take over HD DVD. The fall time has a good group of games that should do well, assuming that the dates don't get pushed back and the games sell enough units. The only three things missing is a newer model of the ps3. If sony can pull this off, we should see more sales, a controller that rumbles. Last I heard was that sony was working on a prototype and appearently shipped the prototype to developers, although that could be a rumor, and future firmware updates for the ps3. It has taken sony about 10 updates or so to get most of the bugs out of the ps3, but sony is in the right direction as each firmware update that we get makes the ps3 a little bit better. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that sony is working on an 80 GB ps3 for $600 with a %60.00 retail value game because it would make more sense and be a lot cheaper to get the 60 GB ps3, the $60.00 game and an 80 GB hard drive and just switch the 60 with the 80.
