Sony’s getting desperate. The PSPGo flopped. As you said, people don’t want to be forced into downloading every game. They want to trade them with friends or trade them back if they suck. And no one seems to like that stupid wand even if game “journalists” still think that suddenly all the casual gamers will flock to the HD twins because they’ll have motion controls.

It’s still shocking because I know so many PS3 owners who said the reason they bought a PS3 was not only because it wouldn’t die on them but also the fact the online play was free so I figure they’ll be just as mad as the Modern Warfare 2 players who were robbed of their servers. But you’d think Sony had learned their lesson after “$599 US Dollars.” But it’s a clear sign that Sony is drowning and has no idea what to do. They need money and Sackboy and Nathan Drake aren’t cutting it. They can crank out every hardcore killer app they want but they may lose some of their current user base who didn’t to be charged just to play online.

Slowly the hardcore gaming culture is declining.

Sony planning to charge online for “premium content” of course begs the question, What is Premium Content? Sony won’t say!

The “story” of the November NPD was how Xbox 360 was outselling PS3 again (of course, all the stories were written that, yet again, Nintendo is doomed despite outselling everything yet another month). Everyone had figured that the PS3 price cut meant the PS3 now had momentum. But apparently the sales boost was more of just a temporary thing.

I’m curious how PS3 will do in Japan especially with Final Fantasy 13 being released.

I don’t think we can put a tombstone on the PS3 just yet. Let us see how the ‘Wand’ impacts the market. I expect the Wand to be a ‘dud’.
But you have a keen eye emailer noticing all this about Sony. Where does Sony go from here? They are running out of options.
