Con: Playstation 3
PS3 is selling as bad as Gamecube did
Wow. I didn't know the PS3 was doing this bad. I'm sure the same people who said the Gamecube was a failure at 22 million systems sold will some how turn this around and say PS3 is succeeding. Such is Sony fanboyism...
From the article:
According to the NPD, a firm that tracks North American hardware sales, the PS3 sold 1,742,000 units in its first 10 months of availability compared with 2,120,000 GameCube units.
The GameCube, released by Nintendo in 2001 to compete with Sony's PS2 and Microsoft's original Xbox, is largely seen as a failure. Although commercially successfully (to a degree), the GameCube only managed to sell 22 million systems worldwide compared with 24 million Xbox units and 115 million PS2 machines.
"We're in a position where we're having to play catch-up," PlayStation president Kaz Hirai recently said in an interview with Spong regarding the struggling PS3. Hirai went on to blame "production issues" for his console's slow start before denying widespread belief that the PS3 launch price was too high.
