Is Sony screwed ?

Sony's spent the last few days telling everyone how superior PS3 is to 360, how they've outsold the 360 and how many great, exclusive games will be coming out in 2009. Statistics tells another story. It shows a struggling platform, that after 2 years still hasn't released the end-all-online-lobby it promised. 
*sigh* If only Home was given the same budget at Sony's PR division, it might have been good and shifted some units. Sony seems panicked to me.

7th generation of consoles is predicted to last between 6-8 years, so Sony expect PS3 to generate a profit before that time is over, but PS3 isisn't selling as well as they planned. It's too expensive compared to the competition, and in a recession this will not shift enough untis if you don't have some exciting exclusive titles. Exclusive titles for all platforms are decreasing. as devs looks to maximize their profits, so the consumers ask themselves: Why buy an expensive console when you can have the same games on cheaper hardware?
