Sony's comment is blatantly single sided; they forget that nowadays people buy more and more gaming consoles, including the Wii, PS3, Xbox360, Nintendo DS, etc, and PC's; these games have been seling more and more, becoming more and more realistic; I've just read a study from Jon Peddie Research that says that from the second to the third trimester, there has been the largest increse in NINE years un graphic cards sales - 120 million beating the former record of 111 million from the third semester of 2008. - Graphics cards are becoming cheaper, more people are buying them and playing games.
People are also spending more time online, in social networks such as facebook, and also twitting, blogging, in second life, etc, sending more and more sms, playing games on their iPhones, and Nokias and whatever.
Sony has to get over it: the day still only has 24 hours and people are having more stuff to spend their leisure time on. Start making games. Oh, wait, you do, you just started with an onverpriced console with a CPU that's hard to program on, Wii and Xbox are only now starting to be at your reach. Well, don't complain so much, adapt. Lowering the price and releasing a slim version was a good starting point.
