What I mean is while Sony should strike as soon as possible, once Wii sales slow down then they should really hit hard with something. I don't know what with, but as I said before they need to start building their relationships with gamers and the media. Its out in a few weeks, and I still haven't seen an advert yet. I know that.

They have taken a lot of flack from E3, and while there has been some positive news, it has always just been buried under the avalanche of Ninty and Microsoft fanboys. Doing what they did with the PSone would be a good idea, but we need to see advertising NOW. No doubt the Wii craze will dry up, so then is the best moment for Sony to strike.

I think this is the real question. Does PS3 truly have a unique selling proposition to the general public beyond your hardcore fanboys? How many avg non-gamer would pick one up @ the current price tag? With more and more games being crossed platform, where is the PS3 advantage? “What are PlayStation 3’s Unique Selling Propositions for this generation, and how can Sony ensure its latest home console usurps its increasingly bold and accomplished competitors?”

Isn't the real question though 'why isn't one included in the £425 box as standard?' After all, how many people will be buying a PS3 to plug into the composite sockets on their 14" standard def CRT?
