Call me silly, but I have a feeling that the lack of PS3 sales may be due to, I don't know, maybe a downed economy?!?! When people are getting laid off or could potentially loose their jobs, the LAST thing that's going to get purchased is a $400 machine used for entertainment purposes. This trend will stay true until the economy turns around, until then Sony had better hold on tight (and I'm sure they'll ease back on the marketing as well).
