The PS3 honeymoon was short lived -> http://games.kikizo.com/news/200704/032.asp
What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...
We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
Being on the bottom line
Sure ain't no fun
But if we should be evicted
From the home
We'll just move somewhere else
And still carry on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Baby
Hold on, hold on
Hold on
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
Now we may not know
Where our next meal is coming from
But with you by my side
I'll face what is to come
Boy, I wanna thank you
For loving me this way
Things may be a little hard now
But we'll find a brighter day
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, Won't be long
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, Won't be long
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now

I tihnk that is purely the people that would buy a sheep aslong as it had the playstation brand on it.. and those that want a cheap blu-ray player
So theres only 7300 PS3s left on shelves according to my calcluations.
220,000 initial stock allocation
165,000 sold first week
29,700 Second week
18,000 third week
212,700 total sold.
I'm pretty sure theres a LOT more than that sitting on shelves, I mean the Argos stock checkers pictured on UKResistance would account for about 25% of that amount!

I do somewhat admire Sonys marketing boys though - they're really having to dig deep to spin this one. Seems to me that its simple - the PS3 aint selling all that well as its just too expensive.

I'm really not much of a sony playstation fan but I do believe if the console came out at £350 they would sell like hotcakes. But it depends how much EXTRA sony are prepared to loose on each system before they drop teh prices significantly.
There was a simple way of doing dropping the price, cut out BR. It's not needed, by putting it in there they may have killed two of their birds with one stone. Well, one bird got killed by a stone, while plummeting to it's death it hit the other bird.
They couldn't do that. They needed PS3 to win the blu-ray/HD-DVD way. It's close enough as it is, but without the PS3 it wouldn't be a contest.
By the time the HD players (BR/HD-DVD) have dropped in price, and it is cheap enough to be taken up by everyone like DVD has been, I expect digital distribution to have overtaken both formats for the the preferred method of buying/renting movies.
Video Marketplace on the 360 in the US is the perfect example of this, why spend the extra money on a player, when you can spend that money on movies!

And this is the route cause of the PS3's, errr, issues. PS3 was a tool for the format war and as such the product itself has suffered.

yup the future of watching movies is not from a BR/HD DVD its this thing "download/media files" . in almost every type of electronic device, you can download movies and music through your broadband connections.
you can use the xbox 360, your pc, a laptop and even a bloody phone to download content from the net. companies need to stop wasting their type producing BR/HD dvd disks with fancy box arts and just distribute their movies via from the web! it wont be long till we see a tv that has a built in network card inside with a 100gb hard drive in!
MS inventing the Media center is the most innovative idea they have come up with since the original windows OS launched! It has opened the door to the possibilities of watching movies and listening to music without loading a single media disk in a player!

Well, with 50mb internet coming out soon from NTl/Virgin, you can expect some High Def streams to come soon.
The thing is, it'll all probably go downhill when they bring out "Megadef" using organic pixels. You can get something like 28,000x14,000 on a 19" flat panel screen using that process, and its really not that far off hitting the production line.
If i could guess whether Blu Ray or HD-DVD will "win" this "war" it'd be HD-DVD, purely because of its name (Betamax and VHS, anyone?)
who the christ needs 28,000x14,000. and where does the content come from at that res?
