Why Sony's PS3 Will Continue to Struggle

I would have to agree. Sound analysis here to be sure. They have lost this fight with or without a price cut. It's going to be a very long generation of losses for the company it would seem. Overall it is looking very bleak for quite some time.

Actually you have a couple of other things wrong in this article. By no means is Sony catching up quickly in the US. Per NPD Microsoft has a 5.6 million lead. At the rate of last month it would take Sony 23 years to out sale the 360 in the US. At the rate of just this year it would take Sony 11 years still well beyond this generation. If we look from November 2007 until now Sony would never catch up with the 360. As the 360 has actually grown it's usebase more since holiday 07.

Your claim of Sony winning in Europe is also wrong as Microsoft has already stated they were at least a million ahead in the territory after Sony tried to claim it was ahead their.

May want to do a little fact finding before writing a piece such as this.

An analyst this week also stated Sony will probably never make a profit on the PS3 this generation based off DFC Intelligence numbers. The 3 plus billion they have lost to date is hump they may never get over, but at least Sony has admitted that this year.

Actually the 360 version of GTA IV from US numbers we have to date outsold the PS3 version by a very comfortable 2-1. Nevertheless the only boost it has gotten from HW this year was MGS4 and then it dropped like a rock the month after as we see.
