In March I wrote "Stick a Fork in the PS3, It's Done", an editorial refuting the claim that 2008 would be "The Year of the PlayStation 3." My inbox was stuffed with hate mail. I was called all sorts of names and yet, with 2008 in the books, Sony has continued to provide ample proof that the PS3 is destined to join the ranks of the great blunders of history.
Poor Sales Figures
In November, LittleBigPlanet was released amidst controversy and fantastic reviews. The game has been referred to as the PS3's killer app. The YouTube of gaming. The game that will change everything forever. Instead, it sold 215,000 copies in its first month and only barely squeaked into the NPD Top 10. LittleBigPlanet is, for all intents and purposes, a sales flop.
This is not the first time that a highly anticipated PS3 game has posted poor sales numbers, but it is the most jarring. Sony has attempted to position Sackboy as the face of the PlayStation brand (surely, he's more cuddly than Kratos), but they will be doing it with a game that was outsold by Microsoft's Fable II by a margin of nearly four to one. The Year of the PS3 is littered with a similar lack of bestsellers.
