If PS3 was $349 and had i.e. FF13 and MGS4 out and still only sold ~10k each week, then it would be crazy. But these games and price isnt there yet so i dont think ~10k each week is too bad considering the current situation.
Sure, it will take some time to get the price down alot, but one day it will happend. Question is, what will happend then? Will people buy it like crazy or will it be too late?
What's the price of the PS3 in Japan? I thought it was about $420 or so.
But yeah, there's still a lot of time left to see what happens. I'd love to see the PS3 make a comeback and compete, but history shows that once the ball gets rolling in a market leaders favor, it just keeps on going.
But this is admittedly a wacky generation that's hard to compare to others. I think Sony's about done for in Japan, but it really is too soon to tell for sure until a few months after FFXIII comes out. Nothing else, save for GT5, has the ability to make much of a dent.
