Sony is all about the games and that is the wrong strategy

I disagree with the analysis. They imply that Sony's console is lagging due to its lack of embrace of the social media, while it is misguidedly focussing on "pounding out the games".<p>In my personal experience, the problem with the PS3 is not <i>enough</i> games - at least not enough games in all genres. Sure, there are a gazillion racing games, but have you tried supporting an RPG habit on the PS3? I am a big fan of the hardware, but if I had more time to game on a console I would have bought an Xbox 360 by now.<p>There are other much discussed reasons for the PS3's poor relative performance, eg. the price point. I really think the lack of Twitter is not what is killing it.
