The PS2 outsells the PS3 in the US which I think it quite comical. In the UK, the PS3 sells for a whopping £300, convert that over to the US Dollar, see what you get... If Sony wants to sell over 100m PS3 consoles, first port of call is that it has to sell for under £200. Yeah, the PS3 has too many bells and whistles so Sony needs to scale it down by releasing a slim PS3. But I don't think Sony will budge, it never seem to stop talking about Blu-ray, and to think the PS3 is a gaming console. And everything Sony is expensive, I don't think it's got anything to do with Blu-ray, it's just Sony being greedy with its high price.

No price cut Sony continue to profit with the hardware the PS3 has at least 6 more years of competitive gaming we haven't seen even half of what the SPUs and Cell can do! We have the best game MGS4, Killzone 2, MAG, Uncharted 2, inFAMOUS, LBP and so many other great exclusives. People should realize the PS3 is more expensive because it's a better product period.

They really need to drop the price, and that's about it. The games are there and will be for the years to come, they just need people to play those games.

Some people enjoy some of the soapboxes, others hate a select amount. You don't have to read it. @Chase Lewis Or, go with the alternative: release a cheaper, slim model, that would push more units into homes like the PS2 did. Think about it: A PS3 "lite". It worked for Microsoft (Arcade). Sunday Soapboxes are simply a way for writers to get an opinion (however strong or weak it may be) out there.

Get that bad boy to 299.99 And it will sell like hotcakes. The Wii slow down is starting to show, hardcore games are bombing on it. MS has (sadly) a no-show line up this year. SONY could literally steal this year at E3. ALL SONY needs to do is have a price drop. Get that bad boy to 299.99 And it will sell like hotcakes.

I do see your effort putting into that article, but I really can't imagine myself that noone working for Sony is capable of finding the problems they are dealing with right now. Don't get me wrong, but I really think that the internet these days is really full of unneccassary information. And this article quite belongs to it. It's an article the public already knew about, they have already read some websites before. It's not Sonys way of business to create mega ads for their games, it's not Sonys way of business to invest millions of dollars in buying games for exclusvisty. We saw this when the MGS franchise once moved to the Xbox and Nintendo. Sony is struggling, of course. But at least they do something to improve and innovate, they again have taken a step further than their competitors, introducing Blu Ray, building a consolse which can do way more things than any other one on the market. Hell, this has always been Sony. It’s a good read, nothing more, but nothing less either.
