This more than anything else will stop them in their tracks with the PS3 along with their elimination an nonchalance about the problematic backwards compatibility of the system.

Game titles are what I wait for before investing in a game system (ok I throw away money on one but whatever) and a year later I see nothing on the PS3 or even the Wii for that matter that compels me to even remotely want these systems.

First and foremost every gaming system has to have games to play and to keep the purchasers happy with their decision.

Sony has promised an online gaming community like no other in it's experience...it has yet to deliver on that promise and it seems as though it is in no rush to even try to deliver the experience they talked so highly about.
