Quite simply if Sony doesn't gain traction compared to its competitors, it'll be much more difficult for the system to gain exclusive titles beyond those already in development. It is the vicious cycle of low market share -> few exclusives -> lower market share -> fewer exclusives.

The PS3 did place last in November's NPD but there are signs that sales have picked up. It just matters how well they've picked up compared to the Xbox 360 and the Wii seasonal increase.

I didn't know the majority of gaming sites were conformists either.

I can tell you with the utmost confidence that it is last again this month. I think the ratio is around 2-1.

It's going to be funny when the US falls in line with the rest of the developed world and embraces the PlayStation 3.

I predict sales in the Island of Man will skyrocket this year for the PS3!

The Isle of Man likes the Commodore 64, it just came out there last week, big seller.

I don't know, they have some stiff competition from the Magnavox Odyssey.
