I myself was never a fan of the PS2 and am for some reason reveling in the PS3's problems. There biggest problem I see is that they are more interested in saturating the market with Blu-Ray and have lost interest in pleasing game developers who are really the people who will make the PS3 successful or not. After just recently buying a good size HDTV and watching normal DVD's on it, I can see the need for a HD movie format, however for my budget, this technology is still a couple of years away. One could say they have made a blunder in the gaming market with the BR/PS3, but Sony is a business, and the bottom line would profit more with their HD format as an industry standard than if the PS3 was more of a success. Remember the PS2 outsells everything still, so I doubt they are worried. And for Howard Stringer, he needs the stockholders to understand this and he seems to have become more of a PR rep than anything else. The press are ruthless.
