PS3 needs price cut rapid.
BR is doing it no good.

The Wii is a monster. A dust-busting monster.
I can’t believe a $400 console is 103,000 units behind one with a SKU at half that price. Sony loyalty still counts for something… just not sure how much it’s worth. Well done to Nintendo and Microsoft for keeping the holiday momentum up.
I was going to type “In before ‘price cut!’”.. but… yeah.

That’s another PS2 record beaten (490k sold in January), and beaten handily. Pure insanity.

I really hope Killzone 2 can do something next month.
Seriously.

There’s a pretty good chance it’ll do something, but I wouldn’t expect miracles.

Yeah, we won’t see sales like we did with Gears 2.

I think Killzone 2 will do better in Europe than it will in the US.
Pre-orders for it are weak, and judging by the absolute lack of PS3 games in the NPD software sales chart, American PS3 owners must be spending their money on something other than games.

Given the price gap, the time of year and the state of the US economy, I’m surprised the PS3 is doing as well as it is.

A heavy price cut and sales would go bananas. It’s tough for Sony on a PR level, but I honestly don’t think they’re in a “bad place” with PS3. They’re doing what they’re doing deliberately.

I wonder if that would work as their new slogan?
“PS3: The bad place”
