My local retailer moved the PS3's from a central spot to a more on-the-side location. They haven't sold even 10% of what they have in stock. What's in that central spot now? Recently arrived stock of Wii's.

Oh, and they offer the premium 360 + 3 games + controller + quick charge pack for less than 75% of the cost of a PS3 (which only comes with one free BR movie). Tough choice, huh?
1) PS3 + 1 game + 1 BR movie
2) X360 + 2nd controller + charger + 3 games + Wii + Wii Sports + Nunchaku

Sony is in for a lot of trouble, much as the fanboys may deny it.

JJ, Madrid,

PC is infinity more powerful than any aging prospect of a console.

True gamers PC.

The Cell processor has barely begun a jog, let alone hit its stride. All the game developers are being pushed to a whole new level of virtual creation by the PS3 and are finally growing the balls to step up to Maya for console programming, something that has seen almost no use in 360 game development. 360 will be Microsoft's 21st century gaming equivalent of DOS, while PS3 ushers in a new generation of virtual gaming. If Sony can be faulted with anything here, it's having too great a vision for a game-development industry that had grown comfortable in its ways.

PS3 is THE BEST. PS3 has better graphic than 360 and wii(wii has really bad graphic), better virtual world than 360, and better games(Final Fantasy XIII, tekken 6, resistance,etc.)

Wrong. The 360 has more grunt on the graphics department, with games like gears, crackdown, mass effect and the soon to be released GTA 4 peeing all of those "average" titles you've mentioned.

@sshat, Newcastle,

For me, the XBox360 (which i own) is nothing more than a (slow) PC for the living room. (A Media Player with more bugs then anything else)

The PS3 which i own now too has a complete different feeling.
If you compare all three consoles on a 46" Full HD Flat, the PS3 is the clear winner. (if you do NOT compare prices)

If you just want to have fun, without payin to much, go buy the WII (yes, I got that one)

BTW: I just wonder how many people own all three consoles and are REALY able to compare em!

BTW2: If you just own a old TV all three consoles are about the same (well i guess that's why most people like the wii...)

Though #3: Some years ago everybody was yelling against Micro$oft, i wonder what happend :-)

Mmm, maybe not. If they only shipped 250,000 to Europe and sold out, would that be better than shipping 1,000,000 and selling 500,000 ?.

Is a launch a flop because they dont sell out ?. Sony have shipped more units than Microsoft did for their X360, its a brave move. If there's 900,000 left on shelves, I'll join you buddy, its a failure.

Its good for the consumer that supply can match (and even outstrip demand) at launch.

"Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it".

As gamers, we DO NOT want console launches were they supply 3,000 units to meet demand of 10,000. Scalpers get rich, gamers get scalped.

OB, Wales, UK,

Personally I dont think they have a chance and are being very optimistic about it. Despite sales of hi def telly going up they are still NOT mainstream and are owned by very few people, especially in the UK. If you do not have a hi def telly i would say that the purchase of a ps2 where 3/4 of its cost is the blu ray player would be pointless and a waste of time. Sticking to 360 which is far far cheaper and just as good a console would be the sensible option but in some cases you will just never be able to convice some of those sony fan boys that their beloved and highly waited ps3 is a trojan horse. Theyll have to find that out for themselves.

The first console I ever bought was a SNES, and that made a Nintendo fan boy out of me then. However, that was over 12 years ago and as time has gone I have seen Nintendo slowly slip in to the background first because of the PS1 and then the PS2. Sony has earned my begrudging respect and it has deserved the title of Console King so far.

But now it seems Sony has missed the boat and it may be Nintendo's chance to strike back. Sony have gone for brawns rather brains in this latest round of console wars and in doing so may have made a mistake.

The Wii has put Nintendo in a terrific position to make huge gains against Sony. It is an innovative product and something that is welcome after a decade of being fed games which look slick but are weak in game play. I for one am fed up of endless sequels and having to fork out money for just a spruced up version of a game I already own. For Nintendo to reclaim their crown though they will have to also address the older gamer.

MMAS, London,

I don't think it's worth the money right now. Wait until this time next year then buy it for half the price (if Sony are still in business that is).

Countdown to PS3 failure?
