"Sony's new PlayStation 3 video game has gone from top dog to underdog in record time."

So starts what could only feel like a kick to the gut for Sony, a story in USA Today telling non-gamer American's what a lot of gamers have been grumbling about since the launch of the PS3: Things don't look so good for Sony.

A bulk of the story seems to be pinned on the latest NPD Group numbers which show that the PS3 has been outsold so far at a rate of nearly 2-to-1 by the Wii.

It goes on to quote N'Gai Croal as saying that the PS3 is "sucking wind right now." Oof.

While I certainly agree about the current state, I do think things have already started to turn around a bit and still expect the PS3 to make a dynamic recovery come this fall. But still, ouch. Brian Crecente
