They are selling, among hard-core gamers and people with just too much money to blow, or want a relatively cheap Blu-ray player. They're just not selling to a wide audience like the Wii.
Personally, I think the PS3 is too far ahead of its time. It should have been released maybe next year when that technology is cheaper and game development can better take advantage of its architecture (learning from the three-core 360). They could have at least left out the Blu-ray unit to make a lesser model, giving that as an external option for later.
That is what I mean. The wider audience thinks that it is overpriced.

Agree with this and the rest of what you wrote.
They should have taken notice of what other manufacturers were doing. 360 brought the on-line play, Wii brought a whole new way to play besides button mashing. Both of these are not new new concepts but they are presented in a new and exciting way. The PS3 just looks good. Technologically it is a nice piece of equipment but for what it brings is not playing well in Peoria. Great graphics are nice, but not $500.00 smackers nice.
