With launch numbers just released for the ps3 (America 400,000, Japan 100,000). Is the PS3 already dead, or will it rise like a phenoix from the ashes to conquer all the land it can see?
Oh, I doubt it's dead, but it isn't going to have the same amount of US marketshare as the PS2 has this generation. It will do perfectly well in Japan, where the Xbox 360 has done fairly poorly

I read nearly the entire defeatist article in Wired, Can the PS3 Save Sony. Otherwise knowing nothing about PlayStations, I agree, it seems as if they are (or at least should) give up on trying to produce game consoles.
However, to say the PS3 can wreck sony is an overgeneralization. If anything is going to save Sony electronics, its their cameras. I love my Handycam, thimk my Cyber-Shot is the best digital camera I've seen, and now am coveting their new DLSR.
If I were to splurge and get one, that's $2k in under two years from me to Sony, not even counting accessories. Pursuing the camera market (and continuing to put out superior new cameras) is what will save Sony.

And yeah, me n' Scott plan on being early adopters of Wii (we got to play at E3). We're pissed that's it's not coming out while we're in Japan.
