So after 110 million PS2s are sold, people are picking them up because of brand loyalty to Sony? I really doubt that. I certainly can't imagine saying to myself: Geeze, I really want a PS3 but I have an actual job and can't camp outside for a week to get one, so I guess I'll go give those nice chaps at Sony $129 so I can have another PS2 around the house to show them how much I care.
Playstation 3 not helping Blu-ray?

They just sunk $1000 for a PS3, games and accessories. I don't think they're going to line up to spend $30 on a movie just yet!
Besides...it's a GAMING machine.
At many locations the disk are running $20 TO $28 (a few are even less).
The PS2 has too many great games on it and that is why it is selling at $129 like water in a desert. I think that the 360's 511k console sales in November is a great number. But those numbers will not get them to 10 million from 7 million sold thru October.
The only real mover out there is the Wii. If Nintendo can keep building them and nobody gets smacked down by a flying remote (why couldn't they have put a platic-coated wire in place of that cheap string?) then the Wii could possibly supplant the 360 by next June as the number one new-gen console on the market.
Sony's only chance here is for the manufacturing to crankup to about 800,000 per month and the games coming out in March actually come out. I can see a second launch here in the US to co-inside with the European launch given the number of exclusives coming out for the PS3 in March 07. Maybe a slight price decrease (unhead of this early) would really put a bang into sales. Or, how about putting in Motorstorm in every PS3 -- that would sell alot of systems.
